    #VirtualBrattle – "Y'Know for the Kids!" Entry # #VirtualBrattle – "Y'Know for the Kids!" Entry #39: CLASH OF THE TITANS June 29, 2020 marked the 100th birthday of special effects pioneer Ray Harryhausen and, if the Brattle was open right now, we would be knee-deep in the wonderful science fiction and fantasy worlds for which he created stop-motion animated beasts. In lieu of an in-theater tribute, please enjoy the immensely entertaining (if somewhat hokey) original version of this sword and sandal epic, newly arrived on Netflix. Young hero Perseus must complete challenging trials and defeat legendary monsters to win the hand of the beautiful Princess Andromeda in this mystical tale rooted in Greek mythology. This film is rated PG but is pretty tame by today’s standards – fantasy violence, some death and destruction, a little bit of non-sexual partial nudity, and, of course, one relatively frightening snake-headed Medusa. … Streaming on Netflix, TCM; for rent elsewhere.
