Retelling of The Odyssey focusing on the fantasy-adventure aspects, with Kirk Douglas in the title role.
The movie starred Silvana Mangano playing both Penelope and Circe, Rosanna Podesta as Nausicaa, and Umberto Silvestri as Polyphemus the Cyclops.
While Ulysses is out on his adventures, Penelope has potential suitors. She holds them off by telling them she first wants to finish her tapestry, but she unweaves it every night to stall. Telemachus (Franco Interlenghi), the son of Ulysses and Penelope, is sick of the suitors' behavior and decides to search for his father.
