Synopsis

Perseus is the favored son of the god Zeus, but he has unwittingly ticked off the sea goddess Thetis. Just to make things worse, Perseus falls in love with the lovely Princess Andromeda, who used to be engaged to Thetis’s son. Soon, Perseus is off on one quest after another, with Zeus helping, Thetis hindering, and lots of innocent bystanders getting stabbed, drowned, and squished. –IMDb

Remember when a PG film wasn't afraid to show you some breasts along with your action and violence? Both the live action and the Harryhausen stop motion are a treat.

    Granted this was made before the PG-13 rating. I believe that didn't come around until about 1984.

***1/2. Refreshing mythogreek peplum with Ursula Andress as Aphrodite. She just utters three sentences but never mind. I also don't know why I liked the scenes with the iron owl. Never mind. Pointless to say that this film is much better than its remake. Recommended.

    For whatever reason, I agree; there is something that is just plain enjoyable about that owl...

My dad took me to see this in the theater way back when. One of Harryhausen's greats.
