      Favorite faces of Hollywood epic directors

      Hollywood star Richard Burton and the most beautiful man in the golden age, Tyrone Bower, in the Japanese magazine in 1954.

      The reason why the magazine put the two male stars together is because of "Sacred Robes". When preparing for the filming of the first widescreen color film in Hollywood history in 1953, the first choice for the protagonist was Tyrone Bower of the current year.

      It's just...

      a failed ancient roman character by burton

      The Robe 1953 "Holy Robe" This film is the unveiling of the Hollywood epic era, the ancestor of "Ben-Hur", and the first color widescreen film in Hollywood, which is of epoch-making significance. It was Cleopatra that put an end to this era of cash-burning blockbusters, both of which, interestingly, starred Richard Burton. He was a rising star discovered in 1953 when the boss of 20th Century Fox was on holiday in England.

      I watched "Cleopatra" for the first time in 2006. After watching...

      The rivalry duel that happened behind the film

      It turns out that in 1953, Burton and Granger had a rival duel over Jane Simmons, and both pistols and grenades were used.

      Burton had just arrived in Hollywood in 1952 and was staying at his friend Stuart Granger's house. Granger was bigger than him at the time. He had just married Jane Simmons for a year, and the couple had a luxurious villa on a seaside hill in Los Angeles. Burton hooked up with Simmons while Granger was out on set.

      When he came back, the two did not...

      the director said

      World cinema received sound in the 32nd year (1927) of its birth and color in the 43rd year (1938). Since then, the vivid screen has shown countless inspiring stories for human beings. In the early 1950s, television began to be popularized in the West, and with its unique viewing form such as economy and convenience, it pulled a large part of the audience from the cinema. For the first time in more than half a century, a film faces a huge challenge. The epic blockbuster "Holy Robes" is the...

      Appreciation of the film should focus on its wide-screen composition and audiovisual composition that made the audience refreshing at the time.

    Movie quotes

    • Pontius Pilate: Even my wife had an opinion.

    • Marcipor: To be a slave in this household is an honor.

      Demetrius: [disdainfully] To be a slave anywhere is to be a dog.

    • Marcellus Gallio: [after learning that Caligula has posted him to a back-water military command far away from Rome] Where's Jerusalem?

      Sen. Gallio: Palestine - the worst pesthole in the Empire. They're stiff-necked, riotous people, always on the verge of rebellion. Our Legions there are the scum of the army - the officers little better than the men. Disease takes them off like flies. Some have been assassinated - sometimes by their own men. Others have spared the assassins the trouble. What Caligula hopes he has given you is your death sentence.
