Alexander the Great

Directed by Robert Rossen

With Richard Burton, Fredric March, Claire Bloom, Danielle Darrieux and Barry Jones

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.
