Antea - Queen of the Amazons (Gianna Maria Canale) explains to Jason (Fabrizio Mioni) how they survived without men after a disaster in HERCULES (1958)
One of the best things about this movie is how to the story snakes here and there, in different directions, making it unpredictable. It has multiple secondary storylines sharing the same time frame. The Jason storyline one of those secondary storylines that co-exists beautifully with the main Hercules one. This includes the 'Jason's Single Sandal' prophecy heard at the beginning. His story is never too present. It's just right. During this entire scene, Hercules is pretty much missing.
Another secondary storyline is the one about the Amazons: it focuses on the plight of Antea and how they became Amazons, forming an army of female warriors to protect themselves from outsiders trying to get them. A spark happens between these two, igniting a short but passionate love affair. It's not all about Hercules, who takes a much needed break. Gianna and Fabrizio worked well together.
