A rather busy Hercules/Ursus film with an evil usurper, a princess who really isn't one, a princess who really is but has forgotten, a wailing werewolf kind of monster, a bit of sorcery, a fire, a fire eater, a village massacre and other things. The story wanders about with bouts of action but on the whole I didn't find it engaging. Reg Park has magnificent muscles but his Hercules/Ursus character is feeble. The other members of the cast don't shine either. The film does look good in 'Eastmancolor' and 'Totalscope' but then peplum films usually were though the movie did seem to have footage taken from other movies. On the whole, rather routine.
I did however like the idea of the monster being more than one person, including Hercules/Ursus himself. A sort of Dr. Jekylls and Mr. Hydes.
