Helena (1924 Film)
''Helena'' is a 1924 German silent drama film directed by Manfred Noa and starring Edy Darclea, Vladimir Gajdarov and Albert Steinrück. The film was based on the poem the ''Iliad'' by Homer. It was released in two separate parts: ''The Rape of Helen'' and ''The Fall of Troy.'' It was produced by Bavaria Film at the Emelka Studios in Munich. The film was made on an epic scale with thousands of extras, and large sets which rivalled those of the larger Berlin-based UFA. For many years the film was considered partially lost until it was reconstructed from a version found in Swiss archives. The film has been described as Noa's "masterpiece," although it was so expensive that it seriously damaged the finances of Bavaria Film.Schildgen p. 42 Cast * Edy Darclea as Helena * Vladimir Gajdarov as Paris * Albert Steinrück as Priamos * Adele Sandrock as Hekabe * Carl de Vogt as Hektor * Friedrich Ulmer as Menelaos * Carlo Aldini as Achille * Carl Lamac as Patroklos * Karl Wüsten ...
