| | The Embassies have to get out and fast | Tar Heel 02/18/2007 | | There should have been more romantic scenes between Charleston Heston and Ava Gardner, which would have created a more entertaining movie. So, as one continues to watch the movie, it has a lovely break in the scenes between Heston and Gardner, who still had the famous beautiful, graceful form. When they are dancing together, you wish it could go on for a longer time and in many more scenes. The acting by the various actors was strong and the script was well written. I thought Paul Lukas gave us a very sensitive performance. When he was in the scenes with Ms. G., she was fantastic. Just another example of her acting abilities no matter what the role demanded. She delivered her part with absolute 4 Star talent. |

| | an underrated classic | gene43 04/25/2007 | | I first saw HELEN OF TROY as a 13 year old and was enthralled. After viewing it recently on DVD I find it has lost none of it's magical powers. It was the only 'ancient spectacle' of the '50s that possesed not only spectacle and charm but also a highly romantisized atmosphere of this ancient world. And without Max Steiners PERFECT score, this couldn't have been achieved. |
