The Conqueror, the 1956 Dick Powell historical action adventure epic melodrama ("'I am Temujin... Barbarian... I fight! I love! I conquer... Like a Barbarian!'"; "2 years in the making... At a cost of $6,000,000!"; "The world? I will take it! The woman? I will tame her!"; "This Tartar woman meets his fire with ice... matches his fury with flame!"; "Under his heel... Cowering nations! In his arms... An untamed woman!"; "Spectacular as its barbaric passions and savage conquests... 2 years in the making... At a cost of $6,000,000!"; "This Tartar woman is for me and my blood says take her!"; "'Is Temujin so wanting for a woman that he must quench his fire with ice?"; "At her feet The Conqueror laid all the riches of Cathay... and for a hundred years their children ruled half the world!"; produced by Howard Hughes) starring John Wayne (as Temujin/Genghis Khan!), Susan Hayward, Pedro Armendariz, Agnes Moorehead, Thomas Gomez, John Hoyt, William Conrad, and Ted de Corsia. Note that this movie (which took two years to make) was shot at a site downwind from the Yucca Flats, Nevada nuclear testing site and many of the cast and crew took a break to view an actual above-ground nuclear bomb blast. 91 of the cast and crew later contracted various forms of cancer, including Pedro Armendariz, whose kidney cancer was so painful that he shot himself. Other victims included Dick Powell (lung cancer), Agnes Moorehead (uterine cancer), John Hoyt (lung cancer), Susan Hayward (brain cancer), and John Wayne (twice - lung cancer and 15 years later stomach cancer). Of course, to be fair, many of the above people were major smokers, and some of the cancers could have been unrelated to the atom bomb test, but there is a much higher incidence of cancer among this group of people than among a similar group of people from the same years who were not present at the atom bomb test.

Important Added Info: SUPER IMPORTANT! THIS LOT CONTAINS 10 STILLS, BUT ONLY FOUR OF THE STILLS ARE PICTURED! THE HIGH BIDDER ON THIS LOT WILL RECEIVE 10 STILLS FROM THIS MOVIE, and NOT just the four pictured! We realize there is an element of gambling to this, but we made only a small effort to find the best four stills in these lots, and, if you have any willingness to gamble at all, you may find that you get some great stills that were not pictured! Please do NOT bid on this lot unless you can accept that you are only seeing four of the stills.

Note that on our larger lots of black and white stills (mostly the ones with nine or more in the lot), there are a small number of lots where there may be one or several duplicated stills in the stills not pictured (we only picture four of the stills on all of the black and white lots). Sometimes we noted when some of the stills not pictured were duplicates to the ones that were pictured, but we likely did not catch that on many of the lots (especially the ones with a large number of stills), so please do not bid on the lots of nine or more stills unless you can accept the possibility that there may be some duplicated stills contained in the lot.
