I watched this 1963 movie on youtube and was pleasantly surprised. It is the story of Jason and how he sailed on the ship Argo to bring back the Golden Fleece. The Argonauts include Hercules, Castor and Pollux and Argus, who built the ship. The goddess Hera protects Jason and his crew as they encounter their adventures. There are bronze Talos, Harpies, Clashing Rocks and fighting skeletons. In the the end, Jason gets the Fleece. He also gets the girl, Medea. Medea is played by Nancy Kovak, and she does a seductive dance. The animation is by Ray Harryhausen who would later do Clash of the Titans. The two films are similar.
