This one's for you, Michele. Yes, I love this movie. I really love most movies that have to do with Greek mythology. And this movie covers a lot of ground, from the Krakken to Medusa to the Three Fates. It's sheer, out-and-out melodrama, but what a cast: Olivier, Maggie Smith, Burgess Meredith, Ursula Andress, Harry Hamlin - I have no idea how they got Olivier and Smith to do this (okay, lots of money, I'm sure).

Anyway, there are really dated special effects, but at the time, they were Harryhausen at his best. Bubo, the metallic owl sent by Athena, is a mechanical marvel. The Gorgon was also pretty scary. The Kraken, though, looks like Godzilla on vacation. ;-)

But it's still a fun film for us romantics who love to see our heroes triumph over evil, doing so in short togas. And love conquers all - yay!!
