Jason and the Argonauts
Don Chaffey / GB, 1963 / 104 min.
Previous films on the Classics must of course be represented at the première of Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey. None less than Ray Harryhausen took on the task of creating special effects for Don Chaffey’s interpretation of the saga of Jason and the Golden Fleece. Epic. With monsters.
It’s one of the many ancient Greek myths: the story of Jason and the Golden Fleece. But what was it all about again? Director Don Chaffey refreshes our memories with his interpretation of the story of Jason, the banished son of a king.
Screening to accompany Christopher Nolan’s latest film, The Odyssey.
