English Summary:

Helen of Troy is a 1956 Warner Bros. WarnerColor epic film in CinemaScope, based on Homer's Iliad and Odyssey. It was directed by Robert Wise, from a screenplay by Hugh Gray and John Twist, adapted by Hugh Gray and N. Richard Nash. The music score was by Max Steiner and the cinematography by Harry Stradling Sr.

The film retells the story of the Trojan War in 1100 B.C., albeit with some major changes from the Iliad's storyline; Paris of Troy (Jacques Sernas) sails to Sparta to secure a peace treaty between the two powerful city-states. His ship is forced to return to Troy in a storm after he has been swept overboard on the shore of Sparta. Paris is found by Helen, queen of Sparta (Rossana Podestà) with whom he falls in love. He goes to the palace where he finds Helen's husband, king Menelaus (Niall MacGinnis), Agamemnon (Robert Douglas), Odysseus (Torin Thatcher), Achilles (Stanley Baker) and many other Greek kings debating whether to go to war with Troy. Menelaus, who is denied by Helen, sees that his wife and Paris are in love and, pretending friendship, plots Paris' death. 

 

Hungarian Summary:

Homérosz Iliásza ihlette a látványos filmeposzok virágkorában, az 50-es években készült nagyszabású Szép Helénát. Robert Wise rendező állt az akkoriban óriási összegnek számító 6 millió dolláros költségvetésű produkció élére, és feledhetetlen klasszikust alkotott 30 000 szereplővel, köztük Sir Cedric Hardwicke, a díva-korszaka előtti Brigitte Bardot, és a Trójai Helénaszerelmeseit alakító Rossana Podesta és Jack Sernas főszereplésével.
