The Conqueror (1956)

Written by Oscar Millard

Directed by Dick Powell

Production Year: 1956

Filmed in Colour

Historical actioner about legendary Mongol chieftain Genghis Khan. The story on-screen is good, but the off-screen stuff is incredible: it was the final film of producer Howard Hughes, who bought up all the prints and screened it privately night after night. Filmed close to the atomic bomb testing sites in Utah, nearly half of the crew later contracted cancer.
