It also the heralded the last of MGM's great epic movies, as they announced even during production. They simply didnt have the moolah to finance these vast vista works with thousands of extras and a cast full of stars: the next movie they made was one twentieth of this cost.
A Russian version of the movie was done in 2006 with a total running time of over 8 hours, thus [[{{Doorstopper}} hewing closer]] to the book.
