I liked Perkins in this movie, but the rest of the cast isn't as good. The story is interesting too, and the ending is good, but I would have ended it differently. Overall a good movie.

Mediocre film that spends its best time on Mercouri's beauty and presence. Perkins is overwhelmed and unconvincing as a man that a woman like Mercouri could fall hopelessly in love with. The love making scene is almost laughable today without sensuality or credibility. The lesbian attendant to Phaedra is nonsense by today's ethos. She kisses her beloved on her way to eternity or hades. What's good is Mercouri and her costumes. That final look with the headscarf turban and dark glasses is fierce and should be on POSE. Also good is the scenery. The winding road on which Perkins and "his girl" kill themselves is better than the dialog. Another scene which is almost comical. I still say it's watchable so I gave it two good stars.

"Phaedra" straddles a line between ancient and modern sensibilities. It is an undervalued and underseen example of mythology adapted to cinema.

Anthony Perkins has mommy issue again in the Jules Dassin film that's a modern retelling of the greek tragedy, Phadra. Melina Mercouri is the star of the film as a Greek shipping magnet who has an affair with her stepson with tragic consequences. The story, as you would expect with Greek tragedy, is extremely overwrought but that doesn't translate so well to a modern setting. Dasssin directs the film with far more of a European arthouse type of style, which looks more like a Jean Cocteau film than it does one of his noir or caper films. It's interesting to see Dassin make a film with such style and that alone was enough to hold my interest, but the characters and situations were not so believable or engaging.

The movie was a little hard to follow at first..it's really one of those films that gets better as it moves along. The acting was good..Tony did decently well. He's so good looking, it really doesn't matter anyway. The love between him & Phaedra is a little disturbing..it's that sick kind of lust/love. It was quite predictable..esp. the ending. Overall, it's quite entertaining..esp. if you are a fan of Anthony Perkins.
