Review of Spartacus (1960) by Andris I — 29 Aug 2010
Add a review...One of the highest grossing films of 1960,this was one astounding spectacle with Kirk Douglas as a gladiator who leads a revlot against the Roman Empire is one of the best in the genre that was a sweeping epic in cast,a sweeping epic in budget,and a sweeping epic in scope. The winner of 4 Oscars has been given a restored re-released in late 2010 for its 50th Anniversary. Stanley Kubrick replaced Anthony Mann as its credited director;then then blacklisted Dalton Trumbo was the original screenwriter along with producer Edward Lewis while Kirk Douglas was headed as executive producer. This all-star cast headed by Laurence Olivier,Jean Simmons,Peter Ustinov(who won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor),.
