Utilizing an exceptional international all-star cast and excellent special effects, Hallmark entertainment and American Zoetrope productions created this fun-filled adaptation of Homer's most-famous epic poem. It was originally broadcast as a four-hour miniseries on the NBC network. The story faithfully chronicles the many adventures of sailor Odysseus (Armand Assante), his colorful crew as they encounter a variety of mythical figures, including Odysseus's spiritual guide Athena (Isabella Rossellini), the seductive Calypso (Vanessa Williams) and the treacherous Eurymachus (Eric Roberts). Highlights include the Trojan Horse (made to original scale and filmed on location in the ruins of Troy) sequence. Much of the miniseries was filmed in Europe and on the Mediterranean, making it a feast for the eye. Sandra Brennan, Rovi

Seller's Description:
Christopher Lee, Vanessa Williams, Armand Assante. New. 2019 Run time: 184. Buy with confidence-Satisfaction Guaranteed! Delivery Confirmation included for all orders in the US.
In the title, role Armand Assante successfully carries this dynamically far-flung war/adventure/fantasy, an admirable feat. The production is rich with convincing period details. Isabella Rossellini is stunning as Athena in an all-too-brief role. The iconic Irene Pappas is typically impressive as the stoic mother of Odysseus, with Greta Sacchi the sympathetic, long-suffering wife. Odysseus' traveling companions are a likeable, motley crew. The story unfolds in a whirl of impressive visuals, all worth an evening's committment. And anachronistic Michael J. Pollock''s New York accent is... out of place.
