Musings!


Sylvia Lopez as Queen Omphale in HERCULES UNCHAINED (1959) 

How do you view Omphale in this movie? Is she evil? A villainess? A tragic figure? Do you view her in a sympathetic way? I love the way director Francisci filmed her character. In an ambiguous way. But I can't feel too bad for her since her self interest almost started a major conflict. Was he affection for Hercules genuine or same as usual? She seemed to be in love with Hercules but the Queen lost her sense of judgment towards her Kingdom, which makes her sorta selfish.
