directed by Peter Hammond
featuring Brian Blessed, Gary Watson, Jeremy Young, Jeremy Brett, Mary Peach

The Trojan Women (1971) more movies like this

directed by Michael Cacoyannis
featuring Katharine Hepburn, Geneviève Bujold, Vanessa Redgrave, Irene Papas, Brian Blessed

The Trojan Women is a film of the ancient Greek tragedy by Euripides, which is a highly mannered, ritual-like stage play.
