after many decades, its poetry of the basic virtue defining it. a sort of poetry as part from Golden Age Hollywood great epics . this is the motif for the impressive force of seduction , the same yesterday and today. a form of delicacy and the flavor of classic Greek myths are the marks of this special film, remembering the characteristics of old fashion and noble heroism.

Clash of the Titans (1981): Dir: Desmond Davis / Cast: Harry Hamlin, Judi Bowker, Burgess Meredith, Laurence Olivier, Maggie Smith: Ray Harryhausen creates his masterpiece with this stunning fantasy film. The title is symbolic in terms of players. The titans could be Perseus verses the evil Calibos who was struck down and deformed by Zeus. It could ultimately be Medusa verses sea monster the Kraken but it is Perseus who beheads Medusa to turn the Kraken to stone from her gaze thus saving the Princess Andromeda from sacrifice. Directed by Desmond Davis with impressive sets and locations of palaces, caves and swamps. Harry Hamlin is a suitable Perseus who was raised after he and his mother was abandoned at sea. He will grow to pursue Andromeda's hand but to do so he must face extreme dangers in the forms of Medusa whose hair is ridden with snakes and her eyes turn flesh to stone. Judi Bowker is stunning as Andromeda whose soul is cursed to revisit the domain of Calibos but she refuses his advances thus further enduring his curse. Burgess Meredith plays playwright Ammon who provides Perseus with advice and companionship particularly during the taming of Pegasus. Laurence Olivier plays the authority of Zeus who utters the famous command, "Let loose the Kraken!" Maggie Smith plays sea goddess Thetis, vengeful mother of Calibos. This is mythical magic at its very best. Score: 10 / 10

King Acrisius of Argos sends his daughter and her son Perseus off in a wooden coffin. An angry Zeus (Laurence Olivier) releases the Kraken to destroy Argos. Perseus is saved and grows up in safety. Calibos is the son of sea goddess Thetis (Maggie Smith) engaged to Princess Andromeda (Judi Bowker). However Calibos hunted Zeus's sacred flying horses and he is transformed into a monstrous satyr. In revenge, Thetis leaves Perseus (Harry Hamlin) to chance abandoned in Joppa while cursing Andromeda. Perseus is aided by an old poet named Ammon (Burgess Meredith). Zeus sends Perseus a helmet of invisibility from Athena (Susan Fleetwood), a sword from Aphrodite (Ursula Andress), and a shield from Hera (Claire Bloom). He captures Pegasus and answers the riddle of Andromeda breaking her curse. However Thetis is insulted at the wedding and commands that Andromeda be sacrificed to the Kraken.It is the end of Ray Harryhausen's era as stop motion photography fades in light of the new computer technology. It is the last and finest example of his work. This has great old fashion actors doing their best to give this movie substance. The story is a little bit complicated but the expositions do a good job. The movie just works. It's high adventure on a grand scale like old Hollywood.
