Trivia:
He was asked to direct
The Bridge on the River Kwai (1957) but declined. After the box-office failure of
Land of the Pharaohs (1955), he didn't want a second one in a row, and he thought the critics would love this movie but the public would stay away. One particular concern was the all-male lead roles.
