La ilíada o El sitio de Troya

Helen of Troy is a fascinating epic drama in two parts (Der Raub der Helena and Der zerstörung Trojas). Karel Lamač as Patrolos? It was an excellent choice, which may seem unmeasured to Czechs today, but in the mid-1920s a Czech could still go far in Germany. Then we also get to meet Carlo Aldini - Achilles - not only as Charly Allan from Armoured Car, and we see that Adele Sandrock is eternal, just like her Hekabe. The tradition of monumental films reached its peak and it was worth it. Manfred Noa cemented his credentials as a suitable director for this project with the success of the great film based on Lessing’s play Nathan the Wise, which is also a film worthy of attention today.
