is screening "Alexander the Great" (1956) starring Richard Burton on Sunday December 22nd at 7pm.
People forget Richard Burton got his start in sword and sandal costume epics and this film in particular, represents an overblown high point to a genre too often dismissed.
This is also one of those titles that Channel Zero would love to revive, but of course we do not have access to the HFA's Big Indoor Screen or their reliable fan base for that fact.
But then we never ever indulge spite towards the Big Players, they at least have the resource to maximize a rare title's audience potential.
