Knights were complaining that their chain mail was wearing out and tempers were wearing out too. When a dancer tripped over a piece of scenery last week, Set Designer Smith was heard to snap: "I hope you broke your leg." Novice squires were learning from cynical...
Spartacus (Bryna Productions; Universal-International) is a new kind of Hollywood movie: a superspectacle with spiritual vitality and moral force.

Spartacus runs for 3 hr. 25 min., including a brief intermission, employs 100 major sets, 8,000 extras and far more big names than most marquees can carry-among them Kirk Douglas. Sir Laurence Olivier, Jean Simmons, Charles Laughton. Peter...
