1956 ALEXANDER THE GREAT VINTAGE MOVIE POSTER – Original Sword and Sandal Prince of Macedon, Greek History Movie Poster, Persian History, Original Movie Memorabilia, Movie Gifts, Theatre Posters. Dimensions: 27″ x 41″. Condition: The poster is in Great (lol) condition. Description: This is an original 1956 movie poster from the release of the old CinemaScope Alexander the Great. I have always been fascinated by the short and violent life of Alexander of Macedonia, which of course makes me biased in reviewing this film. It has been said of this film that Robert Rossen, who produced, wrote and directed this film, was aiming for a masterpiece but failed honorably. While this is true in a way, I still enjoyed it more than that. This movie is not fast in pace, and the direction is not perfect either, but it feels authentic.
