I recently had the good fortune to visit the
Stanley Kubrick exhibition at
LACMA (Los Angeles County Museum of Art) on January 10, 2013 and was reminded of the amazing repertoire of work the film maker had, from historical epics like
Spartacus to genre-defining sci-fi and horror movies.
Original costume worn by Laurence Olivier
as Marcus Licinius Crassus in Spartacus
The exhibition had many wonderful original costumes, props and models from his varied film career, including this
Roman general and politician outfit worn by
Laurence Olivier as
'Marcus Licinius Crassus' in 1960's slave rebellion against the
Roman Empire classic,
Spartacus.
Roman armour and tunic worn by Laurence Olivier in Spartacus
Arlington Valles and
Bill Thomas shared the
Best Costume Design Oscar for
Spartacus. This costume was on display courtesy of the
Costumi D'Arte Peruzzi, Rome, probably because
Ruggero Peruzzi is credited with
Costume and
Wardrobe responsibilities for this historical movie.
