Alexander the Great (1956)
Country: US
Technical: col/scope 135m
Director: Robert Rossen
Cast: Richard Burton, Claire Bloom, Fredric March, Danielle Darrieux, Harry Andrews
Synopsis:
Young Alexander is tutored by Aristotle, succeeds Philip of Macedon as the foremost chieftain in Greece, and embarks on years of conquest of Asia and the Near East.
Review:
Rather stagey and underwhelming in its battle set pieces, this return of Burton to the sword and scabbard genre looks good but suffers from over-telescoping of its cumbersome narrative.
