For this ambitious screen version of one of the most powerfuI works of classic Greek theater, director Michael Cacoyannis (Zorba The Greek, The Cherry Orchid) "unIeashes the talents of four of the screen's most exciting actresses" (NY Daily News). Four time Oscar winner Katharine Hepburn (The Lion In Winter, A DeIicate Balance), Oscar winner Vanessa Redgrave (Julia), Oscar nominee Genevieve BujoId (Anne Of The Thousand Days) seamIessly mesh into an unprecedented ensembIe cast that "one couId never hope to see on stage" (Pauline KaeI, New Yorker).
After their ten-year siege, the victorious Greek army seeks to curse those Trojans whom fate has yet spared. Separated from their children, denied their mourning and destined for sIavery, the women of falIen Troy huddle within the parched wreckage of their once glorious city. Beautiful Cassandra (Bujold) is betrothed against her wilI despite her vanishing sanity. Andromache (Redgrave) discovers her son is to be executed to and end her royal bIoodline. Helen (papas) desperately wields the arrogant beauty that Ieveled a city as she pleads for hr life. But it is Hecuba (Hepburn), widowed queen of Troy, whose enduring dignity and unfaltering strength makes cowards of Troy's captors |
