CONQUEROR (BILINGUAL) [IMPORT]

Details

• Release Year: 1956
• Genre: Action/Adventure, Documentary, Romance, War
• Plot: Academy Award-winners John Wayne (True Grit) and Susan Hayward (I Want to Live!) star in this big-budget historical epic about Genghis Khan from billionaire producer Howard Hughes (The Outlaw, Jet Pilot). Abducted by Temujin (Wayne), the Tartar princess Bortai (Hayward) tricks him into mistrusting his blood brother Jamuga, played by Pedro Armendariz (From Russian With Love), but comes to love the Mongol chief. Oscar nominees Agnes Moorehead (The Magnificent Ambersons) and Thomas Gomez (Ride the Pink Horse) co-star as Hunlun, Temujin's mother, and Wang Khan, whose title he will earn a Genghis Khan. The conqueror was shot on location in Utah near an atomic testing site, and in a tragic aftermath, many of the film's cast and crew--including all three leads and first-time director Dick Powell--later contracted cancer.
