night. 4 00:01:18,870 --> 00:01:20,079 Howard Hughes. 5 00:01:20,163 --> 00:01:24,209 The billionaire tycoon, aviator, and film producer 6 00:01:24,292 --> 00:01:26,211 has become a recluse. 7 00:01:26,294 --> 00:01:29,839 Locked in his penthouse suite, he refuses to bathe. 8 00:01:29,923 --> 00:01:31,716 Sports a long white beard. 9 00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:34,344 Fingernails that protrude like snakes, 10 00:01:34,427 --> 00:01:36,596 where he sits for hours, naked, 11 00:01:36,679 --> 00:01:39,599 except for a pink hotel napkin. 12 00:01:39,682 --> 00:01:42,310 Another ritual would dominate his final years. 13 00:01:42,393 --> 00:01:45,480 A motion picture that he would play continually 14 00:01:45,563 --> 00:01:47,774 against a homemade projector screen. 15 00:01:47,857 --> 00:01:51,402 The movie looks part western, part musical. 16 00:01:51,486 --> 00:01:55,740 A would-be epic, a total farce. 17 00:01:55,824 --> 00:01:57,033 To Howard Hughes, 18 00:01:57,116 --> 00:01:58,993 this film called “The Conqueror” 19 00:01:59,077 --> 00:02:00,995 was his final masterpiece. 20 00:02:02,997 --> 00:02:06,084 I feel this tired woman is for me. 21 00:02:06,167 --> 00:02:07,794 My blood says take her. 22 00:02:07,877 --> 00:02:11,756 The Conqueror in many ways would be a-- 23 00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:13,967 a entirely forgettable picture today. 24 00:02:14,050 --> 00:02:15,969 Howard Hughes had this idea. 25 00:02:16,052 --> 00:02:20,056 He wanted to make the Genghis Khan story. 26 00:02:20,139 --> 00:02:22,433 American and international audiences 27 00:02:22,517 --> 00:02:24,727 loved these big wide-screen epics. 28 00:02:25,311 --> 00:02:27,397 Howard Hughes was a megalomaniac. 29 00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:31,484 He-- he certainly saw himself as a conqueror 30 00:02:31,568 --> 00:02:33,695 of the movie business. 31 00:02:33,778 --> 00:02:35,905 The aircraft business. 32 00:02:35,989 --> 00:02:38,241 A conqueror of politics. 33 00:02:38,324 --> 00:02:39,993 A conqueror of the whole world. 34 00:02:40,076 --> 00:02:41,077 John Wayne, 35 00:02:41,161 --> 00:02:43,079 and William Conrad, 36 00:02:43,162 --> 00:02:44,914 and Ted de Corsia. 37 00:02:44,998 --> 00:02:47,917 Uh, even Agnes Moorehead. 38 00:02:48,001 --> 00:02:48,918 Playing Asiatics. 39 00:02:49,002 --> 00:02:50,461 Just because it was accepted, 40 00:02:50,545 --> 00:02:52,630 it doesn't necessarily mean that it was correct. 41 00:02:52,714 --> 00:02:54,048 It was his creations. 42 00:02:54,132 --> 00:02:57,010 It was the Howard Hughes presents this, 43 00:02:57,093 --> 00:02:58,511 you know, iconic motion picture 44 00:02:58,595 --> 00:03:01,556 that he believed was his masterpiece. 45 00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:02,807 NARRATOR:For authenticity, 46 00:03:02,891 --> 00:03:05,226 Hughes chose the perfect location 47 00:03:05,310 --> 00:03:07,937 to recreate the world of Genghis Khan. 48 00:03:08,021 --> 00:03:11,649 The Gobi Desert looks like the area around St. George. 49 00:03:11,733 --> 00:03:14,485 Living in St. George in the ‘50s and ‘60s 50 00:03:14,569 --> 00:03:15,695 was magical. 51 00:03:15,778 --> 00:03:18,656 We heard all aboutThe Conqueror being here 52 00:03:18,740 --> 00:03:21,576 and how the stars were here. 53 00:03:22,410 --> 00:03:25,246 The Conquerorwas a $6 million disaster 54 00:03:25,330 --> 00:03:27,749 that starred John Wayne as Genghis Khan, 55 00:03:27,832 --> 00:03:29,542 the great Mongolian warrior, 56 00:03:29,626 --> 00:03:32,462 who conquered most of Asia during the 12th century. 57 00:03:32,545 --> 00:03:34,881 I wouldn't say it's one of the-- the best films I've seen 58 00:03:34,964 --> 00:03:36,424 or one of my father's best films. 59 00:03:36,507 --> 00:03:38,843 Of-- of all the Howard Hughes movies, 60 00:03:38,927 --> 00:03:41,512 this is probably the toughest movie 61 00:03:41,596 --> 00:03:43,723 to find anything admirable about. 62 00:03:43,806 --> 00:03:46,100 The Conqueror has been called “one of the worst films 63 00:03:46,184 --> 00:03:49,187 of the 1950s”, if not of all time. 64 00:03:49,270 --> 00:03:52,482 If I could describeThe Conqueror in one word, 65 00:03:52,565 --> 00:03:55,443 I would probably just call it “tragic”. 66 00:03:57,028 --> 00:03:58,488 Ah, unfortunate. 67 00:03:58,571 --> 00:04:00,073 Ridiculous. 68 00:04:00,156 --> 00:04:01,658 Miscast. 69 00:04:02,951 --> 00:04:05,244 I've heard that it's a terrible movie. 70 00:04:06,245 --> 00:04:08,706 I don't know if I've seen it all the way through. 71 00:04:08,790 --> 00:04:10,708 You know, I wouldn't watch it twice. 72 00:04:11,376 --> 00:04:14,796 The Conqueror was to be Hughes' cinematic masterpiece. 73 00:04:14,879 --> 00:04:17,298 Shot in breathtaking CinemaScope 74 00:04:17,382 --> 00:04:19,509 and glorious Technicolor. 75 00:04:19,592 --> 00:04:20,677 Why Mr. Hughes, 76 00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:23,179 did you watch this film over and over, 77 00:04:23,262 --> 00:04:25,139 as if searching for an answer? 78 00:04:25,223 --> 00:04:27,308 Are you thinking about the people of St. George 79 00:04:27,392 --> 00:04:29,185 as well as your cast and crew? 80 00:04:29,269 --> 00:04:31,729 How they would be linked in a dark chapter 81 00:04:31,813 --> 00:04:33,231 in American history? 82 00:05:01,426 --> 00:05:02,552 THE TEN COMMANDMENTS NARRATOR:There was a time, 83 00:05:02,635 --> 00:05:06,347 when the cinema was a place of spectacle and wonder. 84 00:05:06,431 --> 00:05:10,059 When unforgettable films played on gigantic screens, 85 00:05:10,143 --> 00:05:12,812 that overwhelmed the imagination. 86 00:05:12,895 --> 00:05:15,023 Now, that time has come again. 87 00:05:16,274 --> 00:05:19,694 Behold His mighty hands. 88 00:05:20,278 --> 00:05:23,197 In the early ‘50s, studios were trying to create 89 00:05:23,281 --> 00:05:24,991 these larger-than-life epics. 90 00:05:25,450 --> 00:05:27,493 THE ROBE NARRATOR:Here is all the sweep and spectacle. 91 00:05:27,577 --> 00:05:29,704 BEN HUR NARRATOR:The spectacle, the color, the excitement. 92 00:05:29,787 --> 00:05:30,371 The human drama. 93 00:05:30,455 --> 00:05:33,541 THE CRIMSON PIRATE NARRATOR:Yes, and a whole new world of entertainment wonders. 94 00:05:34,417 --> 00:05:37,545 Well, in the ‘50s, television made the film industry 95 00:05:37,628 --> 00:05:39,464 very nervous. 96 00:05:39,547 --> 00:05:43,092 They were very, very conscious of having to counteract that-- 97 00:05:43,176 --> 00:05:45,053 that idea that they were competing 98 00:05:45,136 --> 00:05:47,597 with little images in a little box 99 00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:49,348 in black and white at home. 100 00:05:49,432 --> 00:05:51,934 So, you had to have splashy color 101 00:05:52,018 --> 00:05:54,812 and you had to have things that were big 102 00:05:54,896 --> 00:05:57,356 and felt important. 103 00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:00,777 SHANE NARRATOR:The motion picture unforgettable for its spectacle and scope. 104 00:06:00,860 --> 00:06:03,321 And the other big factor at the time was this thing 105 00:06:03,404 --> 00:06:04,363 called the “Cold War”. 106 00:06:04,447 --> 00:06:07,325 And there was this communist agenda that was happening 107 00:06:07,408 --> 00:06:09,452 that Americans were fighting against. 108 00:06:09,535 --> 00:06:11,412 And there was this whole nuclear program 109 00:06:11,496 --> 00:06:13,706 that was happening, and it was something that-- 110 00:06:13,790 --> 00:06:16,584 that became a very big topic in Hollywood as well. 111 00:06:16,667 --> 00:06:19,670 THEM! NARRATOR:But born in that swirling inferno of radioactive dust 112 00:06:19,754 --> 00:06:23,174 were things so horrible, so hideous, 113 00:06:23,257 --> 00:06:26,219 there is no word to describe "Them!" 114 00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:28,763 We may be witnesses 115 00:06:28,846 --> 00:06:30,973 to a biblical prophecy come true. 116 00:06:41,943 --> 00:06:46,614 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. 117 00:06:51,619 --> 00:06:56,499 It may be said that the Atomic Age is here to stay. 118 00:06:56,582 --> 00:06:59,544 The question is, “Are we?” 119 00:06:59,627 --> 00:07:03,214 The atomic bomb creates a temperature 120 00:07:03,297 --> 00:07:04,841 at the center of the explosion 121 00:07:04,924 --> 00:07:07,593 of a 100 million degrees Fahrenheit, 122 00:07:07,677 --> 00:07:09,804 which is three and a half times 123 00:07:09,887 --> 00:07:12,723 the temperature in the interior of the sun. 124 00:07:12,807 --> 00:07:16,769 This heat creates great fires. 125 00:07:16,853 --> 00:07:21,941 Secondly, it creates tremendous pressures 126 00:07:22,024 --> 00:07:25,653 which push the air in front of them, 127 00:07:25,736 --> 00:07:30,825 creating winds of 500 to a 1000 miles per hour, 128 00:07:30,908 --> 00:07:33,619 10 times the velocity of a hurricane. 129 00:07:33,703 --> 00:07:37,039 These winds knock everything down in their path. 130 00:07:37,123 --> 00:07:40,960 Thirdly, it produces super radiations 131 00:07:41,043 --> 00:07:44,922 equivalent to tons and tons of radium, 132 00:07:45,006 --> 00:07:49,218 which would kill all life within an area 133 00:07:49,302 --> 00:07:52,013 of 10 square miles. 134 00:07:52,096 --> 00:07:54,849 These radioactive poisons would be carried 135 00:07:54,932 --> 00:07:56,726 and dispersed through the winds. 136 00:07:58,519 --> 00:08:01,355 The dust will settle gradually everywhere. 137 00:08:04,317 --> 00:08:08,946 The Atomic Energy Commission emerged as a way 138 00:08:09,030 --> 00:08:13,409 to create a separate government unit 139 00:08:13,492 --> 00:08:19,248 to manage atomic energy outside of the military. 140 00:08:20,041 --> 00:08:25,421 I graduated University of Utah in 1954 141 00:08:25,504 --> 00:08:30,384 with a degree in ROTC for...
