**Fun with Art History: For an interesting look at Alexander, rent the 1955 film
“Alexander the Great,” starring Richard Burton in a bad blond wig. Filmed during the
Cold War, there is an intriguing subtext behind Alexander’s campaign against his Eastern
enemies in the movie. Rumor has it that two new Alexander movies are in the works,
with one to be directed by Baz Luhrmann and starring Leonardo “I’m the king of the
world” DiCaprio.
