Beautiful Cassandra is betrothed against her will and despite her vanishing sanity. Andromache discovers that her son is to be executed to end her royal bloodline. Helen desperately wields the arrogant beauty that leveled a city as she pleads for her life. In the end, it is the enduring dignity and unfaltering strength of Hecuba, widowed queen of Troy, that makes cowards of Troy's captors Notes Based on the play by Euripides; English version by Edith Hamilton Originally released as a motion picture in 1971 Credits Photography, Alfio Contini ; music, Mikis Theodorakis Cast Katharine Hepburn, Vanessa Redgrave, Genevieve Bujold, Irene Papas, Patrick Magee, Brian Blessed Notes In English MPAA rating: Not rated Subject Euripides -- Film adaptations Hecuba, Queen of Troy -- Drama Cassandra (Legendary character) -- Drama Andromache (Legendary character) -- Drama Helen, of Troy, Queen of Sparta -- Drama Andromache (Legendary character) Cassandra (Legendary character) Euripides Hecuba, Queen of Troy Helen, of Troy, Queen of Sparta Trojan War -- Drama Greeks Troy (Extinct city) -- Drama Turkey -- Troy (Extinct city) Genre/Form War films Internet videos Feature films Drama Fiction films Film adaptations Feature films.
