FURY OF ACHILLES 1962 (MILL CREEK)

Gordon Mitchell stars as Achilles in this interesting sword and sandal film.

This film takes place in the 10th year of the Trojan war and there is a deep division in the Greek camp.

While Achilles is out fighting the war, Hector played by Jacques Bergerac plots to go against Achilles in battle and take his troops with him.

Needless to say, the division does not go as planned. Achilles always finds himself defending for his life until the final showdown with Hector.

The many battle scenes are well done and it is very odd seeing Bergerac with a dubbed voice that doesn't sound French! The print from Mill Creek is as expected. Some day I will get to see these in full widescreen...well I can hope anyway.

If you're a sword and sandal fan I recommend this film to you.
