Achilles disgraces Hector in the spectacular Siege of Troy!, The giant Ajax in a fantastic test of strength!

The spectacular Spartan siege set off by Helen and Paris, history's most famous runaway lovers!"; "3 years and $6,000,000 to produce it!"; based on Homer's "Iliad") starring Rossana Podesta (in the title role "as Helen" of Troy), Jacques Sernas (billed as "Jack Sernas"; "as Paris"), Sir Cedric Hardwicke (as Priam), Stanley Baker (as Achilles), Niall MacGinnis (as Menelaus), Robert Douglas (as Agamemnon), Torin Thatcher (as Ulysses), Nora Swinburne (as Hecuba), Harry Andrews (as Hector), and Brigitte Bardot (as Andraste) NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this still measures 8" x 10 1/4" [20 x 26 cm]. Also note that this still appears in every way to be original U.S. release EXCEPT that there is one very tiny line of French type in the lower right. It reads, "IMPRIME AUX ETATS-UNIS D'AMERIQUE". A collector has told us that he believes this means the still was printed for use in areas that included French-speaking parts of Canada, but that it WAS printed in the U.S., and that makes complete sense to us (and we have seen this on stills from the 1940s through the early 2000s, so it has certainly been done for an extremely long time)! So it is an original still from 1956, but it was printed partially for use in French-speaking Canada. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Condition: very good to fine. The still is in very nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
