    Hi


    and I almost forgot


    Susan hayward fancied the John Wayne and during the kissing scenes went all out to show him that she was all women.


    On one occasion Hayward got drunk and kicking her shoes off offered to fight Pilar with the winner getting John Wayne. Pilar turned the offer down.


    Hayward was not one of John Wayne's favourite actresses.

    Hi



    The story put out about the Conqueror was that it was a western set in Mongolia, and that John Wayne got the script out of a wastepaper basket where the writer had thrown it.


    If you study the story of Temujin the script stick pretty well to history with the exception that the story is compacted into a shorter time scale, and also that when many of the things that occur in the film happened to the real Ghengis Khan he was only thirteen years old.


    It certainly didn't deserve to come high up in the worst fifty movies ever made.



    Regards
