I remember watching Jason and the Argonauts in the early 60's as a boy and I thought many of the men in this movie wearing basically nothing were hot, sexy, with nice bodies. In those days, the special effects were view as spectacular. Todd Armstrong that played Jason died young at the age of 55 years old in 1992. Most of the actors in this movie are now deceased with very few still living in 2024, and they're in their late 80's. As a black American, I was surprised to see any blacks in this movie in the early 60's and they were uncredited characters like the late Harold Bradley. It was rare to see any black actors on the screen in movies in the early 60's, and if you did, they played as slaves, servants, or housekeepers.
The character Hercules is in this movie but he's played as a middle aged not attractive man that's not as strong as other characters in the Hercules movies. Jason and the Argonauts is a classic movie.
