Re: Kubrick and Spartacus

Let us not forget that Kubrick was not the first choice for director, and that he came aboard with a weekend's notice after two weeks of shooting* when producer Douglas fired Anthony Mann. Kubrick always maintained that this was the only film he directed where he did not have complete control. Even so, he performed a magnificent job, directing actors with much more hands on experience and celebrity than he himself had at that point.


*Kubrick was working on "One Eyed Jacks" with Brando when he got the call, which is why Brando ended up directing OEJ.
