1956 Historical Epic

Oldie Movie DVD Digitally Mastered from Archival Prints

 

Richard Burton as

"Alexander the Great"

Starring: Richard Burton, Claire Bloom, Frederic March

In the beginning of the film, Demosthenes is agitating for war to resist Philip II's takeover of Greek city-states. While Philip II is leading a campaign to take over Olynthus, he is informed that his spouse Olympias has born him a son whom she claims is "a god born of a god." Philip is angry because he suspects that Olympias has committed adultery and that she wasn't impregnated by a god. However, General Parmenio advises the king to let Alexander grow up and succeed him.

Alexander grows older and receives instructions in history, mathematics, logic, and other subjects from Aristotle in Mieza. Alexander is eager to rule and tells his tutor that like Achilles he would rather have a "short life with glory" than a "long life of obscurity." Philip then decides to send Alexander to the Macedonian capital, Pella, as a regent to rule the city while Philip is away fighting wars. This was done to prevent Olympias from spreading rumors about her husband's death. Alexander uses this opportunity to rule in his own right--he becomes neither a pawn of his mother nor his father. Alexander later joins Philip and they go on campaigns of conquest together to take over places such as Athens in the Battle of Chaeronea. After the battle is won, Alexander demands that (1) no Greek city-state ever bear arms against Pella and that (2) they supply men, arms, and ships for the war against Persia...
