Peter Ustinov reads extracts from his best-selling autobiography, adapted In eight parts by JACK SINGLETON
7: ' Spartacus was a film with an extraordinary, rich mixture, as full of intrigue as a Balkan government in the good old days. Kirk Douglas was the producer as well as the leader of a slave uprising in ancient Rome. Laurence Olivier, Charles Laughton , Tony Curtis , Jean Simmons and myself discovered that none of our scripts was the same. Since Olivier had arrived a week before the majority of us, he had already inspired yet another version of the script in which his role had somewhat grown In importance.'
