SCREENING IN THE BERNARD OSHER FOUNDATION AUDITORIUM
“Ray Harryhausen’s visual effects evoke sights unseen since Harry O. Hoyt’s The Lost World, but his stop-motion creations are every bit as memorable as the casting.”
118 minutes. Rated PG. Directed by Desmond Davis. In English.
Perseus (Harry Hamlin), son of the Greek god Zeus (Laurence Olivier), grows up on a deserted island. His destiny is to marry Princess Andromeda (Judi Bowker), who will someday rule the city of Joppa. But as long as the satyr Calibos (Neil McCarthy) -- who uses a giant vulture to kidnap Andromeda's soul every night -- is alive, no one can marry her. Perseus travels to Joppa, where he must defeat Calibos and other mythological monsters to rescue Andromeda.
