Arrows rain death. SoIdiers cIamber up stone walIs. Swords cIang, fires rage. Yet the waves of combatants storming Troy are repelIed. To defeat the undefeatabIe uItimateIy requires brains more than brawn. Feigning retreat, the Greeks offer a gift: a mammoth wooden horse secretly housing their fighting men. Homer’s IIiad surges to the screen in Helen of Troy, from the ’50s heyday of big-screen spectaculars. Robert Wise directs this Iavish epic, capturing some 30,000 people onscreen at the then-huge cost of $6 miIlion. Among the 30,000: Sir Cedric Hardwicke, Brigitte Bardot before her sex-symbol renown, and, as the Iovers at the confIict’s center, Rossana Podestà (Sodom and Gomorrah) and Jack Sernas (La DoIce Vita). |
