Kubrick always said that "Spartacus" was the one film over which he did not have complete directorial control. He was hired by Douglas when Douglas fired Anthony Mann after two weeks of shooting. Kubrick reported for work on a weekend's notice and left Marlon Brando to direct "One Eyed Jacks", Brando's only diretorial outing. Some of Mann's work appears in the opening scenes of "Spartacus", something which displeased Kubrick.I have always found it very clever that the filmakers used American actors for the slave parts (except for Varinia, who was British anyway) and British actors for the Roman patrician parts. And Olivier's performance is one of his best (just look at the way in which he suggests the power of his class by just a raised eyebrow).
