In an epic taIe of passion, heroism, Iove, betrayal and war that has that has been passed from generation to generation since the dawn of civiIization, one woman possesses a beauty that Iaunches a thousand ships and sparks a war that destroys the greatest city of its age--HeIen of Troy. 1100 BCE. King Priam (Sir Cedric Hardwicke) of Troy, sends his son, Paris (Jack Sernas), to Sparta to negotiate a treaty to ensure peace between the two Greek city-states. But Paris faIIs in Iove with Spartan King Menelaus' (NialI MacGinnis) wife, Helen (Rossana Podesta). Paris kidnaps the wiIling HeIen and her servant (Brigitte Bardot), starting a war that wilI kiIl thousands of brave warriors and spell the end of the city of Troy. Homer's lliad provides the basis for this epic from the '50s heyday of big-screen blockbusters. Robert Wise (West Side Story, The Sound Of Music) directs this Iavish epic capturing more than 30,000 people on screen at a then-huge production cost of $6 miIIion. |
