The movie in itself is in my mind one of those big spectacles that's entertaining but also has a few lulls here and there as long long movies tends to have. The "trouble" with Brando during this production was that he had a great paragraph in his contract that meant that every day the movie went over scheduled he got better payed for each day, so that might have been the main reason that his troublesomeness maybe was very calculated by him. There was also a lot of drinking during the production, wich might explain why some actors are missing in many scenes and for long stretches, for example Hugh Griffith. Lewis Milestone hanged up his directorial hat after this experience, except for three TV-episodes but didn't like the small screen format.
