Kawamoto the Puppet Master: Screening Details

1. 

   Jason & The Argonauts U

   Dir: Don Chaffey, UK/USA 1963, 1hr 40 mins

   Ray Harryhausen's special effects wizardry on fantasy epics like Clash of the Titans, The Golden Voyage of Sinbad and One Million Years B.C. made them among the most memorable film experiences of their day. In this film, rightly regarded as his masterpiece, the legendary Greek hero Jason leads the crew members of the Argo on an epic sea voyage in search of the mythical Golden Fleece, battling hordes of stop-motion beasties including harpies, hydras, a skeletal army and a gargantuan bronze giant named Talos on his way.
