aka Ercole e la regina di Lidia. Hercules and the Queen of Lydia. Hercules and the Queen of Sheba Hercules returns to Thebes on an important mission, but on drinking from an enchanted spring he loses his memory. He then falls under he spell of Queen Omphale of Lydia. Ulysses comes to his rescue, trying to help him regain his memory. Can he overcome his amnesia before the political tension in Thebes explodes into civil war?
Though the middle section where Hercules gets amnesia slows the pace of the film, cinematographer Mario Bava provides a good looking and light hearted action adventure, a fine way to waste 90 minutes if you like watching oiled up musclemen fighting off tigers, other oiled up musclemen and most importantly servent girls! If you have to watch only one peplum, then this would be a good one.
