The Conqueror 1956   N/R, 111 min.
Genre: Action
Director: Dick Powell
Cast: John Wayne, Susan Hayward, Pedro Armendariz, Agnes Moorehead, John Hoyt, William Conrad, Lee Van Cleef, Thomas Gomez, Billy Curtis
This unintentional comedy stars John Wayne as Gengis Khan and Susan Hayward as Bortai his concubine. It is supposed to be a tension-filled action story of Mongols versus the Tartars, but it ends up being little more than silly dialogue. 2 User Reviews

| | Deadly | Anonymous 02/04/2008 | | This is the film famous for the fact that all of the stars of the film would die of cancer, believed to have been caused (at least in part) by nearby nuclear bomb testing by the government. This is a film that should never have been made and certainly not "on location." |
| | The Critics were right | 1fatts 04/05/2007 | Nobody liked this movie.
Sometimes everybody can be wrong.
Not this time though. |
