The Gladiators vs. Spartacus, Volume 2
Author: Abraham Polonsky
Publisher: Cambridge Scholars Publishing
ISBN: 1527564010
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 595
Book Description
This publication of Abraham Polonsky’s unproduced screenplay for The Gladiators is a tribute to one of Hollywood’s premiere post-WW II directors and writers whose career was severely impacted by the blacklist. His script for The Gladiators survives to remind us that he could, and did, transform a difficult and complex novel of an ancient slave rebellion into a screenplay worthy of Arthur Koestler’s bold fictional vision. Through a combination of the ambivalence of its executive producer and star, plus bad timing, it never went before the cameras. This book is published in the hope that The Gladiators will be produced for cinema or television.
