I saw this when it first showed in theaters and loved the general "look and feel" of the movie. Bright sunshine, beautiful people and lush locations. Heroes acting like heroes and one great adventure after another. The strange casting of the Ulysses character could have been filled by many of the available musclemen from the era. The producers wanted Steve Reeves to star in this but he was far too busy making other movies at the time. They did use the original director and if you look closely, they managed to re-hire many of the original cast from the 1957 Hercules. Rod Flash as Samson was a body guard for the former Shah of Iran. If you want to watch a bright cheery adventure movie, watch this one. You will enjoy it.
