Details

Based on Plautus' Amphitryon c. 186 BC. 1950s Hollywood collides with Ancient Greece. Jupiter, the old rogue, has fallen in love with Helen Vance, the movie star. Sure, she's on her honeymoon, but what could stand in the way of a god who can turn himself into anyone and anything at will? Well, his wife Juno for a start. She's had just about enough of Jupiter's roving, and all the ingenuity of their divine offspring may not be able to protect Daddy from her wrath. Where on earth can a god hide from another god?
