***^"The 300 Spartans" This is the movie I enjoyed as a boy. The drama
of the Spartans standing against incredible odds, and then only being
defeated when they are overwhelmed. The underdog, beating back the
Persian hordes is a classic. My only complaint was the narration. Too
pompous for me, but in those days that was what made movies. This movie also has betrayal, in that they had a defensible position, and only when a route through the mountains was revealed to the Persians were the beaten. This movie stars Richard Egan as Leonidas.
