Prior to being selected to direct the 1960 version of Spartacus, Stanley Kubrick had directed only four other films. Based on the cost, scope and quality of the main actors this was a major project for the young director.

Kubrick was only 21 years of age when he directed Spartacus. His claim to fame was his direction of the film Paths of Glory which placed his name among the international film world. Kubrick had prior to being a director, began his climb to Hollywood fame as a magazine photographer.
