Atlas in the Land of the Cyclops (1961)
This film was retitled to ATLAS AGAINST THE CYCLOPS when it was released in the United States, but our hero is still called "Maciste" in the film. In this one Maciste battles an assortment of bad guys and monsters including the cyclops of the title. Maciste rescues an infant from the cyclops before he dispatches with the one eyed menace.
As far these spear and sandal epics go, this one isn't too bad. It has enough action to hold one interest. It isn't as "talky" as many of the other bigger budgeted entries in the genre. Flashback scenes from this film turned in up in the later Maciste adventure, THE WITCHES CURSE which started Kirk Morris.

Atlas is the original behavior of a good human being;he does not look for being a king.He is always travelling to help those who are in need for help.He uses his strong body and his intelligence to destroy evil and good to prevail.The myth as always provides some heroes of good means to win because they are created different from normal people.They fight evil.Thank you.
