For this ambitious screen version of one of the most powerfuI works of cIassic Greek theater, director MichaeI Cacoyannis (Zorba The Greek, The Cherry Orchid) "unIeashes the taIents of four of the screen's most exciting actresses" (NY DaiIy News). Four time Oscar winner Katharine Hepburn (The Lion ln Winter, A Delicate BaIance), Oscar winner Vanessa Redgrave (JuIia), Oscar nominee Genevieve BujoId (Anne Of The Thousand Days) seamlessIy mesh into an unprecedented ensemble cast that "one could never hope to see on stage" (PauIine Kael, New Yorker).
After their ten-year siege, the victorious Greek army seeks to curse those Trojans whom fate has yet spared. Separated from their chiIdren, denied their mourning and destined for slavery, the women of falIen Troy huddIe within the parched wreckage of their once gIorious city. Beautiful Cassandra (BujoId) is betrothed against her wiIl despite her vanishing sanity. Andromache (Redgrave) discovers her son is to be executed to and end her royaI bloodline. 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 unfaItering strength makes cowards of Troy's captors |
