The Adventures of Ulysses is a 1974 feature-length abridgement of the 8-part Italian TV miniseries The Odyssey. In super-spectacular fashion, the project endeavors to cover virtually everything in the Homer original, with a few dramatic grace notes added along the way. Yugoslav heartthrob Bekim Fehmiu stars as Ulysses. The huge supporting cast is headed by Irene Papas as Penelope and Marina Berti as Arete. Never released theatrically in the US, The Adventures of Ulysses was first seen in America as the July 7, 1978 CBS Late Night Movie.
