Genre: Adventure / Fantasy
Director: Desmond Davis
Cast: Laurence Olivier, Harry Hamlin, Judi Bowker, Burgess Meredith, Claire Bloom, Maggie Smith, Ursula Andress, Jack Gwillim, Susan Fleetwood, Sian Phillips
This fantasy film is based on Greek mythology. Perseus (Harry Hamlin) is the mortal son of Zeus who is cast off when his mother angers his father. Once he reaches manhood, he learns that his destiny is to rescue the fair Andromeda by passing several tests, such as taming Pegasus and bringing back the head of Medusa. For now, the gods allowed human courage and daring, but they would be ever alert of the danger of humans' rising above the power of the gods. Great special effects.

 Dinner at Eight 1989  TV, 100 min.
Genre: Comedy / Drama
Director: Ron Lagomarsino
Cast: Lauren Bacall, Marsha Mason, Charles Durning, Ellen Greene, Harry Hamlin, John Mahoney, Joel Brooks, Tim Kazurinsky, Stacy Edwards, Lenore Kasdorf, Kelly Connell, Jane Alden, Julia Sweeney
This made-for-TV update of the 1933 version, which is based on the George S. Kaufman and Edna Ferber play, is adequately done, but the first version certainly is better. It tells the story of a social-climber (Marsha Mason) getting ready to throw an extravagant dinner party for the elite. Lauren Bacall is great as a "trash" novelist.

Genre: Comedy
Director: Amos Poe
Cast: Barbara Hershey, Robbie Coltrane, Harry Hamlin, Ian Hart, John Leguizamo, Lisa Marie, Debi Mazar, Ron Perlman, Clarence Williams III, Justin Theroux
This gangster farce features Barbara Hershey in the role of Eva, a waitress who moonlights for her loan shark husband, Al Santana (Robbie Coltrane)–who, in turn, moonlights as an Off Off-Broadway performer. Eva is fed up with the collection game, but Al sends her out on one last assignment: collecting $100,000 from his son, Flav (Justin Theroux). "Frogs for Sale" combines violence with comedy and takes it too far over the limit.
