The first success of producer Dino De Laurentiis was the choice of John Milius to direct the film, one of the most important directors of the so-called "New Hollywood" of the 1970s. Milius was perfect because the vision of Conan as a solitary but free in an amoral world was in line with Milius's own individualist and libertarian views. #ArnoldSchwarzenegger #ConanelBarbaro #MovieReview #BigReview #6
