Comment

It is the film of all superlatives: a four hour old monument, with the titanic and rocambolesque turning, which put its studio at the edge of the bankruptcy, with enormous means, distribution of heads of posters, whims of stars, multiple rebuildings of decorations, five years project and turning spread out over 2 years, stopped many times, etc And despite everything, and against comparable films, the film also marked the history of the cinema by the power of the treatment and its interpretation, exceeding the personal and sentimental considerations expensive in Hollywood to register them from the political and historical point of view. Far from crushing it, the extent of the setting in scene is put here at the service and in counterpoint of the art of the dialog, main character of all films of Mankiewicz.
