Yes, it's got me all SPARTACIFIED up to watch it again. Of course a viewing must be accompanied by a good meal of prawns and oysters, and a fine Italian (or Thracian) wine.
Pretty interesting how Kirk Douglas flew in the face of 1960 Hollywood and gave Dalton Trumbo screenplay credit (the same year Preminger hired him to script EXODUS also under his own name and not the fronts he'd used for years after HUAC). Part of Ring Lardner Jnr's eulogy for Trumbo is worth repeating here. "At rare intervals, there appears among us a person whose virtues are so manifest to all, who has such a capacity for relating to every sort of human being, who so subordinates his own ego drive to the concerns of others, who lives his whole life in such harmony with the surrounding community that he is revered and loved by everyone with whom he comes in contact. Such a man Dalton Trumbo was not." ----- Original Message ----- From: Joseph Bonelli To: MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU Sent: Thursday, May 29, 2008 10:21 AM Subject: Re: [MOPO] posters wanted Why do I have this uncontrollable urge to go home from work tonight and drag out my wonderful Criterion dvd set of "Spartacus" and see if I can spot Glenn giving his famous line, "I'm Gomez Spartacus"---- or, is it, "I'm Gomez, Spartacus!" ??
