What to Know

Critics Consensus

If its story isn't always as transporting as it should be, The Private Life of Helen of Troy offers an amusing -- albeit historically inaccurate -- diversion.

TIME Staff TIME Magazine Far from beautiful, seldom even witty, The Private Life of Helen of Troy manages to enrapture most of the people who watch it by its simple and consistent formula. Jan 11, 2022 Full Review Age Staff The Age (Australia) The picture is well produced, and there are some fine mob scenes in it. Jan 8, 2021 Full Review Irene Thirer New York Daily News Half-way amusing, sometimes boring. Jan 5, 2021 Full Review St. Petersburg/Tampa Bay Times Staff Tampa Bay Times Those who have read the book will not like the screen play; those who have not will find it amusing. Jan 8, 2021 Full Review Jack Moffitt Kansas City Star [The Private Life of Helen of Troy] should cause dancing in the streets, and old men to throw away their canes. Jan 5, 2021 Full Review M. Willson Disher Observer (UK) But the entry of the wooden horse into Troy and the night attack of the Greeks, are another matter. These have a splendour which makes us wish the tale were equally picturesque. Jan 5, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews
