All four female leads stand out in this superb adaptation of the classic Greek tragedy. The production design is a bit stagy, but it doesn't hurt the production. Hepburn and Pappas are especially standout.

I found this online having read about it a few years ago- a remarkable piece of cinema with some terrific performances, especially from KAtherine Hepburn and Brian Blessed. Well worth seeking out.

Mr. Rodriquez comment "your outlook on the horrors of war will never be the same" is so true. The only movie that explains it best is Trojan Women. As a victim of WWII the movie is the only thing that truly explains the horrible experience. Once you are a victim of War and no one helps, you continue to be a victim. One is left alone without the familiar support system like family, language and ethnic group. Under all the humiliation and tragedies, you keep saying to yourself "this is so unfair cause I did nothing to deserve this, I merely was born. Whoever came up with the idea: All is fair in love and WAR, must have been a sadistic and selfish human being. Please watch Trojan Women because it is a must for ending wars.
