Clash of the Titans Review From Mount Olympus To Joppa
A New York Times critique of Clash of the Titans frames the film as a spectacle driven by special effects. The piece notes Laurence Olivier, Maggie Smith, Ursula Andress, and Claire Bloom in rapid cameos, with Harry Hamlin leading Perseus through a sequence of monsters and mythic set pieces. It highlights the film’s visual feats over wit and its rubber-masked witches, while comparing its ambition to earlier Harryhausen collaborations.
