WYE FEEL an almost proprietary interest
w in Alexander The Great" a multi
million-dollar epic based on the life story
of history's greatest conqueror. We talked
to the producer about it when the gigantic
project was only gleam in his eye And
we watched the cameras roll on the final
sequences on hilltop near the rugged
Guadarrama mountain range in Spain -
one of the few countries Alexander never
conquered.
The producer is Robert RosSen, who
made Body And Soul, The Brave Bulls
''All The Kings Men," and other notable
pictures. He says he dreamed for lifetime
of doing a film on Alexander, that he has
been working on the project for three years.
He estimates the picture would cost IL mil
lion dollars if he tried to make it in Holly
wood, and that he may be able to bring il
in for three or four million by doing the
whole thing in Spain.
1t was a colossal undertaking, for fact,
involving for one thing the greatest cos
tuning job ever attempted for a picture
the dress of every known country in the
ancient world is represented; the shops of
Madrid we're literally stripped of embroi-
derry and costume jewels Rossen used

pal players come from all parts of the

Danielle Darrieux from France, Claire
Bloom from London, Mall Mac Ginnis
from Ireland, Gustavo Rojo from Uruguay,
and SO on. Fredric March is the only

Originally the locations we're to be inter-
national as we'll Yugoslavia offered its
Army - Marshal Tito seems surprisingly
willing to lend his fighting forces to the
movies - and Greek and Persian locations
we're under consideration. Lack of studio
facilities in these countries led to the choice
Of Spain.
Risky Business
ONE startling innovation in the prepara-
ton Of the script is illustrated on these
pages - the use of water-color sketches by
artist-photographer Sam Shaw - to por-
tray the action and TO indicate sets and cos
TUNES. Rossen, who authored the SCREEN
play, had still not finished his script when
we were there. He kept improvising scenes
as he went along - risky business for
three or four million-dollar production.
Oh well, Alexander himself improvised
as he went along, and he wound up by
conquering half the world!
