What is the 50/60′s movie about a Greek (?) hero docking at a city ruled by a queen with a lighthouse laser?
I saw this movie in 1990 and it was already at least 35 years old. It was a Technicolor-like production from the 1950′s or 60′s.
A Greek hero, maybe Jason or Odyseus, docks with his ship and crew at an Alexandrian-like city in Africa(?) There he is tempted by a beautiful dictator queen who controls the city and sea around her with a powerful laser like lens atop a lighthouse that dominates the harbor and sea lanes.
The hero makes good his escape amid much adventure and action.
What is the movie’s name??

…got this one in the bag; you’re talking about the 1961 sci-fi/fantasy adventure, “Atlantis, the Lost Continent”; along side the scene at the end of the movie, with the laser you distinctly spoke of, I also remember the scene in the movie, where prisoners and captives on the island, are turned into various animals, and were-animals, through the use of some twirling crystal…
