Nothing about the 1956 Dick Powell EP "The conqueror" did not go properly. First, and most obviously, the casting was nasty. Johnon Wayne, America's Racist UncleHe was thrown like Temujin, Aka Engengis Khan, the ruler of the 12th century Mongol. His wife Berte was playing Susan Hayward. Other white actors playing Asian characters include Agnes Murhed, William Conrad and Lee Van Cliff.

In addition, production was immensely problematic. The "conqueror" was filmed partly in the desert outside of St. George, Utah, and the production was slowed by an unexpected flood from Blic. According to the book "The fifty worst movies of all time" From Michael Medved, Harry Medved and Randy Dreyfus, Wayne was often drunk on a set, inspired his co-stars to respond to his drunken energy with nonsense, unprepared performances on his own. The film's writer, Oscar Millard, however, said Wayne's play is terrible whether he is drunk or sober. It seemed that everyone knew they had a turkey on their own hands, and producer Howard Hughes looked at his second to the last film-slowly bought the "winner" rights for $ 12 million after announcing to ensure that he never saw the light of day. Rko Radio Pictures was unable to buy the film as early as 1979.

Most importantly, the "conqueror" received terrible reviews. Time Magazine claims that Johnon Wayne's performance was resting somewhere between that of the "Sherip of the Square-Shum" and the Mongolian idiot. "Yorkujorker called it a" pure Hollywood moon "as a pejorative, writing:" You have never seen so much horses, though they are so much. tiring. "

Since 1956 Modern viewers still think it's bad, with what Letterboxd users give it average rating of two stars of 10. It is a movie with the lowest ranking of Letterboxd in which the duke starred, carrying it Johnon Wayne's controversial vehicle "Green Berets" from half a ves.

Most of LotterboxD reviews immediately comment on how poorly the cast "conqueror". (Namely, hiring a racist white man to play an Asian historical figure was considered light and nasty even in the 1950s, and there are only old milk films.) A sarcastically said that Engengis Khan is the role of Wayne. Another has compared the "conqueror" with other infamous whitewashing decisions about casting throughout the history of Hollywood, from "Gods of Egypt" (where white actors play Egyptian characters) to "Aloha" (who has a white actor playing pink on " (where the Chinese man occupied the Chinese man), the "Prince of Persia" (in which white actors depict the Persian characters), "the face of a Chinese man". and "Breakfast at Tiffany" (Mickey Rooney? Really?).

However, after you pass the casting, the reviews are still a little complimentary to say about the "conqueror". Some reviewers referred to the film as "boring" and "Turgid", with too many scenes of actors around and reciting the dialogue. The consensus seems to be really really, really boring. One reviewer also noted that the "conqueror" is, moreover, a sexist story in which the horrific case of Stockholm syndrome is detailed. (Berte, you see, he was abducted against her will, never healed well, and still falling for Temigin. It is uncomfortable to say at least.)

Many reviewers also know about suspicious production and often comment that the film is seemingly so bad that it actually took the lives of nations. For those unknowns, The film led by Wayne is filmed under radioactive conditionsWith its set located down on the Nevada nuclear testing facility. When production was transferred back to Hollywood, Hughes, to maintain visual continuity, delivered in 60 tons of Utah dirt (which was also radioactive). About a fifth of the cast and the crew eventually died of cancer. Powell, Wayne, Hayward, Murhed, Van Cliff, actors Pedro Armendiz and Johnon Hoyt and the two Son of Wayne who appeared in the film, all received cancer diagnostics. Radioactive Utah dirt is now spreading all over an unknown park in City City, California.
