Phaedra

Updating the mythical tale to modern-day Greece, this sensuous story finds the outgoing Phaedra (Melina Mercouri) married to a rich shipping tycoon (Raf Vallone), but romantically attracted to her enigmatic stepson (Anthony Perkins). Their passionate liaison brings about a surprising conclusion that seems nevertheless determined by the fates. Jules Dassin ("Topkapi") directs; Elizabeth Ercy, Zorz Sarri co-star. 116 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English; Subtitles: English (SDH).
