Writer-producer-director Robert Rossen’s Spanish-filmed 1956 historical epic of Alexander the Great [Alexander III of Macedon] (356-323 BC) is a clever and thoughtful movie. The young Richard Burton proves a good choice as the Greek warrior […]

Yul Brynner stars as Solomon but the voluptuous Gina Lollobrigida and the waspish George Sanders are much more fun as Sheba and Adonijah. The Old Testament according to director King Vidor, using as his text […]
