i can not believe some of the comments here in the reviews. the film is dated of course and and from our comfortable viewpoint in the age of cgg a lot of the special effects are deeply unconvincing now. but even allowing for this and helen of troy is so bad that it is almost laughable. the scripting is awful and just awful and with no characterisation at all. the performances suffer as a result and you can see the likes of hardwicke and andrews writhing in an agony of embarrassment as they deliver the most ridiculous shallow trite codswallop lines. the writers seem to feel the need to explain almost everything in a dreadful didactic screenplay that allows the viewer to decide nothing for him or herself at all. the beginning of the movie spells out the historical background as if no one had ever heard of ancient greece while i know they had american audiences to take into consideration and but the patronising way we are told everything twice to make sure we understood the action is really awful. i honestly can not believe the comments above describing this movie as a great epic film. even allowing for the comparatively primitive cinematography and the relative sophistication of today audience and this movie truly stinks.
