And I think that very soon
the actors noticed:

:27:04
"Oh, yeah, you know,
we're quite safe. "

:27:07
Traveled a long ways together.
:27:10
Fought many battles.
:27:13
Won great victories.
:27:15
Now, instead of taking ship for our
homes across the sea. . .

:27:20
. . .we must fight again.
:27:23
Maybe there's no peace in this world. . .
:27:25
. . .for us or for anyone else.
I don't know.

:27:30
But I do know. . .
:27:32
. . .that as long as we live. . .
:27:34
. . .we must stay true to ourselves.
:27:37
Its great virtue was. . .
:27:38
. . .it was the only film of that kind
that didn't have Jesus in it.

:27:43
There was no trace of Christianity
in Spartacus really.

:27:46
There was faith, but not Christianity.
:27:50
If Kirk wants to be rewarded for his
courage, which I'd be the first. . .

:27:55
. . .to make a film like that
without Jesus but with Kubrick. . .

:27:58
. . .is already
a tremendous achievement.

:28:01
I think they were both temperamental.
:28:03
Neither of them would give an inch. . .
:28:07
. . .so there was tension.
:28:08
But he was uncomfortable
during the making of that film.

:28:12
But not necessarily
because of Kirk alone.

:28:16
It's because he had
no rights over the script.

:28:19
All those things he'd got
used to and fought for having. . .

:28:22
. . .he didn't have, he had no say.
:28:24
Stanley was unhappy
because he was dealing. . .

:28:29
. . .with the star who was the producer
and in charge of the production.

:28:34
There were certain instances. . .
:28:38
. . .where he felt that things
should be done differently. . .

:28:41
. . .but because Kirk was in charge. . .
:28:44
. . .they were done Kirk's way.
:28:47
I'm not saying that Kirk
was wrong or right. . .

:28:50
. . .but nevertheless, Stanley said:
:28:53
"From now on, I want to do pictures. . .
:28:56
. . .where I really have final cut. "
:28:59
The first overseas premier
of UI's screen epic Spartacus. . .
