Jason and the Argonauts DVD Summary
Greek mythology is done up brown by the special-effects expertise of
Ray Harryhausen
in
Jason and the Argonauts.
Jason
(
Todd Armstrong
), rightful heir to the throne of Thessaly, is spared from death through the intervention of the goddess
Hera
(
Honor Blackman
).
The other celestial inhabitants of Mount Olympus watch in amusement as Hera surreptitiously aids
Jason
in his search for the Golden Fleece.
Obstacles to this goal include a giant come-to-life statue named Talos, the screeching harpies plaguing blind prophet Phineas (
Patrick Troughton
), a set of huge clashing rocks, the seven-headed hydra, and an army of skeletons (this bravura climactic sequence assured
Harryhausen
's place in the hearts of 13-year-old boys of all ages).
Supporting characters include
Nancy Kovack
as a pre-infanticide
Medea
and
Nigel Green
as a pacifistic
Hercules
.
Bernard Herrmann
's surging musical score was icing on the cake for this greatest of all
Ray Harryhausen
creations.
