Sitting down to read later that night‚ I was pleasantly surprised. Not only is Beautiful Child a good

There is beautiful scenery in Turkey and of course you have ships at sea and goddesses and gods causing confusion with the humans. What they did with the special effects is pretty impressive. Some of the more complex scenes were filmed in Malta. I noticed that there was some "overacting"
