Alexander the Great (1963 TV Movie)
decent
28 October 2022
The first temptation is to critic it very hard. The image of Persia from intro is fake, the Macedonians seems like Romans, the fight scenes are almost passable.

But William Shatner proposes a not so bad Alexander, Joseph Cotton and John Cassavetes are just good and the film is only a pilot episode .

So, after the 52 minutes, you can define it as a decent try, inspired by the spirit of period in adaptation of Ancient history heroic episodes, with a reasonable potential and fair in large aspects.

A nice film and a not so bad story- sure, the aspect of sketch is obvious.

At the second view it seems just correct, the heroic virtues, the love story, the punishment of traitors and enemies being fair used. The most important, the desire of return to Macedonia , interesting reflected.
