An engrossing spectacle set in the 4th-century BC, in which Alexander of Greece leads his troops forth, conquering all of the known world, in the belief that the Greek way of thinking will bring enlightenment to people. The son of the barbaric and ruthless King Philip of Macedonia, Alexander achieved glory in his short but remarkable life., A chronicle of the life of the Macedonian who set out to conquer the world in the 4th century B.C., eventually leading Greek tribes to victory over the Persian empire while still in his twenties, claiming lands for Greece from the Balkans to India., The young Alexander rises to take charge of his late father’s army and begins his incredible conquest of the known world., The short life and quick death of Alexander the Great is recounted in this literate historical epic. Decked out in a blonde wig, Richard Burton stars as the Grecian warrior who conquered the known world while only in his twenties, then wept because there were no more worlds left to conquer. While the film’s 141 minutes are occasionally bogged down by near-existential dialogue sequences (What doth it profit a man etc. etc.), the battle sequences are among the best and most accurate ever filmed. Fredric March and Danielle Darieux costar as Alexander’s parents Philip of Macedonia and Olympius, Claire Bloom does what she can with the nothing role of Alexander’s wife Barsine, and Michael Hordern and Harry Andrews are cast as Demosthenes and Darrius, respectively. Lensed in Spain and Italy, Alexander the Great conquered no new worlds at the box-office, perhaps because Richard Burton, brilliant though he was, hadn’t yet attained “saleability”., Richard Burton stars in the incredible story of the King who created a vast empire. A highly ambitious and beautiful picture from Robert Rossen., Richard Burton, Frederic March and Claire Bloom star in this saga of the famous Greek who conquered the world before his death at the age of thirty-three.
