Answer by MystMoonstruck
Ulysses (1954)
starring Kirk Douglas, Silvana Mangano, Anthony Quinn, Rossana Podestà, Franco Interlenghi
IMDb review excerpt:
He then encounters the Sirens, whose songs lure sailors to their death. Plugging the ears of his men with wax, he has himself tied to the mast with ropes so that he can hear their call.

I just checked IMDb to verify the year of release, as there are other films with that title. I see that the box art is of Ulysses aka Odysseus tied to the mast. You can see that image here:
