starring Charles Laughton
Merle Oberon , Flora Robson Emlyn Williams
In 1937 shooting began at Denham Studios on the late Sir Alexander Korda 's epic to dwarf all epics, 1, Claudius, from the book by Robert Graves. From the outset the production was hampered by difficulties and the film was finally abandoned when MERLE OBERON was badly injured in a car crash. The story of the frustration behind Korda's greatest gamble is told by Dirk Bogarde , with contributions from Joseph von Sternberg
Robert Graves , Eileen Corbett John Armstrong
CHARLES LAUGHTON , who starred as Claudius, greeted the cancellation of the film with great relief; ironically, since surviving sequ. ences and rushes show that this would have been one of his greatest accomplishments.
