Movie Reviews of Alexander the Great
Movie Review: Interesting TV production
Summary: 4 Stars
First, it is totally amazing to me that this pilot was not released as a TV special around 1968 (when Shanter, Adam West, & Cassavetes) were all big names. If produced then instead of 1963 ,the production would of cost much, much more with this cast. It seems if it was released then, it would of had a guaranteed built-in TV audience and a successful broadcast.
As a TV sitcom it is an interesting production, I was expecting something alot cheaper looking instead it was quite respectable in costumes,sets and even a magnificent battle scene with Memnon at the end with hundreds if not thousands of extras. It is written as a TV sitcom, and I do not think a story of this magnitude lends itself to trite TV serial plots but the subject would of made an excellent TV movie multi-part serial ( a format that did not exist at the time.) I think all who find the subject of Alexander fascinating , will find this for the price to be an interesting production . Alexander's mistress/wife is a real bombshell with an hour glass figure.
