Show Synopsis
Introducing the two interlinked genres of war films and epics, both films relying on big stories, big themes, big sets, big stars, big casts and of course big budgets. Hence the epic/war film only began in Italy in the 1910s and 1920s and the epic Cinemascope(R) era ending with most costly Cleopatra. Epics often focused on a romantic love story against the backdrop of a distant conflict as a means of promoting American patriotism.
