Classical World at the Movies -- Helen of Troy (1956)
The face that launched a thousand ships! The most beautiful woman in the world! Queen of Sparta! That is what we know of the legend of Helen of Troy.
In this week's episode we look at one of the times Hollywood told her tale, the 1956 movie eponymously titled "Helen of Troy." Starring Rosanna Podesta and Jacques Serna and featuring a very young Bridget Bardot, the film is very much in the style of the "Sword and Sandal" epics of its era. Does it do Helen justice?
Join Sean Marlon Newcombe and Dr. Gary Stickel as they discuss.
