The cast is very intriguing, and even though it is sluggish at times in my opinion quite watchable. The original HELEN OF TROY is still the best of them all. The movie TROY is all about Brad Pitt and as far as following the ILIAD Hollywood made it's own version much to my dislike. orsh549https://www.blogger.com/profile/13242424217251061672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7460884202508888004.post-46344349272367799762019-09-05T14:12:28.715-04:002019-09-05T14:12:28.715-04:00Helen of Troy with Rossana Podesta will always be ...Helen of Troy with Rossana Podesta will always be the version for me.

If so I've seen this a long time ago and I found it to be quite sluggish. There is certainly more content from the Iliad here than in the (in 2003) upcoming Troy, but not necessarily better presented.Richard Svenssonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15379574381914082334noreply@blogger.com
