Spartacus

Kubrick didn’t think much of the “I Am Spartacus” scene, calling it ‘a stupid idea’. This was typical of Kubrick’s fairly confrontational persona on set, which led the cast to start referring to him as “Stanley Hubris’. Douglas, sick of Kubrick’s strong-headedness and even his bad personal hygiene (he refused to change his clothes for days), reportedly threw a chair at the maverick director before pinning him down and telling the ‘little prick’ to go buy some new clothes.
