Despite "Spartacus" (1960) being a box-office success & winning four Oscars, Stanley Kubrick disowned the movie as he had no creative control & constant disagreements with Kirk Douglas, Dalton Trumbo & producer Edward Lewis. Kubrick considered the script to be "Pretty dumb". Kubrick believed he achieved only limited success in making the movie visually interesting as a way of counteracting Trumbo's "Pedestrian" dialogue. Kubrick and Douglas never were reconciled. ā€œHe’ll be a fine director some day,ā€ Douglas said afterward, ā€œIf he falls on his face just once. It might teach him how to compromise.ā€ In one interview, Douglas added that some directors are talented, some directors are bastards, and that Stanley Kubrick was a talented bastard. Stanley Kubrick on his experience directing "Spartacus" (1960): "'Spartacus' is the only film over which I did not have absolute control. When Kirk offered me the job of directing 'Spartacus', I thought that I might be able to make some thing of it if the script could be changed. But my experience proved that if it is not explicitly stipulated in the contract that your decisions will be respected, there’s a very good chance that they won't be. The script could have been improved in the course of shooting, but it wasn’t. Kirk was executive producer; he and Dalton Trumbo, the script writer, and Edward Lewis, the producer, had it their way.ā€ ("The Stanley Kubrick Archives", Edited by Alison Castle, 2005)

Steven Spielberg saw Stanley Kubrick for the first time in 1980 while he was building sets for "The Shining" (1980). After the movie was released, Spielberg went to Kubrick's house for dinner. Kubrick asked him if he liked the movie. Spielberg, who didn't like the movie in the first viewing, started to tell Kubrick all the things he liked about the movie, rather than telling that he didn't like the movie. Kubrick saw right through him and said, "Steven, you obviously didn't like my picture very much". Spielberg replied, "There is a lot of things that I like about the picture". Kubrick stopped him and said, "But there is a lot of things you didn't love about the picture, probably a lot more that you didn't than did. So tell me what you didn't like about it." Spielberg pinpointed Jack Nicholson's performance. He called him a "great actor" and a "great performance", but a "Great Kabuki Performance", almost like Kabuki theater. Kubrick then asked, "You mean you think Jack went over the top?". Spielberg replied affirmatively. Kubrick then asked Spielberg to name his top 5 favourite actors of all time without thinking much. Spielberg listed Spencer Tracy, Henry Fonda, James Stewart, Cary Grant and Clark Gable. Kubrick said, "Stop" & questioned, "Where was James Cagney on that list?" Spielberg said that he is up there high, Kubrick then said, "But not in the top 5". Finally Kubrick said," You don't consider James Cagney as one of the 5 best actors around, but I do. This is why Jack Nicholson's performance is a great one." Since then, Spielberg has caw "The Shining" more than 25 times & considers it one of his favourite pictures. P.S: Remembering the legendary American actor James Cagney on his 127th birthday! Clip from: One, Two, Three (1961) Director: Billy Wilder
