GIANTS OF THESSALY 1960 (MILL CREEK)

One of the best tales about Jason and the Argonauts, and this is directed by Riccardo Freda.

In this well made sword and sandal film Jason must search and find the Golden Fleece in order to make the angry gods happy again. Jason's land has been overrun with evil tyrants and the Fleece will again bring peace.

There are plenty of cool monsters including an island of witches that attempt to seduce Jason and his crew. meanwhile back home an evil tyrant is trying to win over the entire kingdom as well as make the unwilling queen his wife.

The queen if played by lovely Ziva Rodann, and it is this role and her appearance in "Pharaoh's Curse" that I remember her most.

Don't be fooled by other reviews, this is a GOOD film and one that will hold your attention. It's fun, fast paced and the photography is beautiful.
