Description:Perseus (Hamlin) is the favoured son of the god Zeus
(Olivier), but he has unwittingly ticked off the sea goddess Thetis (Smith).
Just to make things worse, Perseus falls in love with the lovely Princess
Andromeda, who used to be engaged to Thetis's son. Soon Perseus is off on one
quest after another, with Zeus helping, Thetis hindering, and lots of innocent
bystanders getting stabbed, drowned, and squished.

Earth vs. the Flying Saucers amongst others) which are too obvious . . .
