The Story of Mankind (film)

The Story of Mankind 1957 is an American fantasy film, very loosely based on the nonfiction book The Story of Mankind 1921 by Hendrik Willem van Loon.

Like Allens previous two films, it features vast amounts of stock footage, in this case, battles and action scenes culled from previous Warner Bros. costume films, coupled with cheaply shot closeups of actors on much smaller sets. This was the last film picture to feature the three Marx Brothers and their only film in Technicolor, although they are seen in separate scenes rather than acting together. This was also the last film of star Ronald Colman, the last film of character actor Franklin Pangborn, and the last American film of Hedy Lamarr.Years later, The Story of Mankind was included as one of the choices in the 1978 book The Fifty Worst Films of All Time. ........
