Clash of the Titans
1981 Harry Hamlin
The Gods of ancient Greece were immortal. Endowed with supernatural powers, they breathed the rarefied air of Mount Olympus, lived on ambrosia and nectar and were worshiped by the mere mortals who dwelt on the plains below and built temples to their honor.
Love and charity were not necessarily part of the lives of these super-beings-they frequently betrayed their god-like attributes: Benevolent, vengeful, contrary and bawdy, they quarreled and fought for power and pursued selfish aims. In fact, they were almost human.
To be Perseus, son of Zeus, could be considered an immaculate start to any man's life, but not when your father's philandering has upset a fistful of gods as powerful as Hera, Athene, Thetis and Aphrodite. Perseus was to experience the vagaries of the humor and temper of these gods.
Metro - Goldwyn - Mayer's Clash of the Titans released by United Artists, a Transamerica Company, tells of Perseus' battles to win the hand of the beautiful Andromeda. The gods look down and help or hinder according to
|
their whims, as Perseus, aided by Pegasus, the winged horse, and Bubo, an owl of uncommon talent, overcomes the three Stygian witches with one eye between them; a monstrous two-headed wolf-dog, Dioskilos; Medusa of the Gorgon's head; and ultimately, the terrifying Kraken, a giant monster raised from its primeval home on the sea-bed to bring destruction.
Harry Hamlin plays Perseus and Judi Bowker is cast as Andromeda. The other starring roles are played by Burgess Meredith, Maggie Smith, Ursula Andress, Claire Bloom, Sian Phillips, Flora Robson and Laurence Olivier as Zeus.
Clash of the Titans is an exciting blend of live action and visual effects filmed in Dynarama, a process developed by the film's co-producer and creator of special visual effects, Ray Harryhausen. The production took two years to complete with principal photography occuring in four countries. One of the most spectacular films ever attempted, Clash of the Titans is the most ambitious project ever undertaken by Producer Charles H. Schneer and his long-time collaborator Harryhausen. It was written by Beverley Cross and directed by Desmond Davis.
