"You dare compare your daughter's beauty to mine and in my own sacred sanctuary? You will repent your boast and the cruel injury you have inflicted on my son, Calibos."
Perseus (Harry Hamlin) is the son of the god Zeus (Laurence Olivier), who has fallen for the Princess Andromeda (Judi Bowker). But unfortunately she used to be engaged to the godess Thetis's son Calibos (Judi Bowker). On being slighted once too often Thetis (Maggie Smith) demands that Andromeda be sacrificed to the dreaded Kraken in one months time. Thus Perseus sets out on a quest to find a way of killing the Kraken and releasing his true love.
A boys own adventure take on the Greek myth, with mechanical owls and Ray Harryhausen's stop motion animation. Nothing startling but still good sunday afternoon fare.
