The movie is set in Rome in 63 BC, and the film follows the life and times of Spartacus, a Thracian gladiator who leads a large scale slave revolt against Rome. It stars Kirk Douglas, Laurence Olivier and Peter Ustinov. Spartacus is released into theatres on this day in 1960. The film was produced by Stanley Kubrick and directed by Anthony Mann. It's an epic story of triumph over adversity that has been enjoyed by many people around the world since its release to be one of the most successful films ever made. It's a story that still resonates with people who have been oppressed by the might of empires and been inspired by silent heroes to fight for freedom. In 1929, Howard Fast is arrested in New York City after he is discovered to have been a member of the American Communist Party almost a decade earlier. He was indicted on charges of conspiring to overthrow the U.S. government, and sentenced to three years in prison. While incarcerated, he publishes his first novel – "Freedom Road" – based on his experiences as a member of an industrial workers' organization at General Electric in Schenectady, New York. In 1931, Fast is released from prison. He marries writer Hella Ornitz that year and the couple moves to New Jersey. The couple has a daughter, which they name Julia, who later goes on to become a well-known activist in her own right. In 1932, Fast is hired by the Federal Writers' Project in New Jersey as a writer and editor on its historical records section. In 1936 he is hired by the state of Connecticut to do a study on the history of labor strikes in that state. In 1937 he helps found the American Writers Association and is elected its first President. In 1938 he becomes active in the effort to free U.S. Communist party leader Earl Browder from a 10-year sentence in prison. He even has a meeting with the president of the United States, Franklin D. Roosevelt, to discuss Browder's case. Fast meets with several editors of "The American Mercury", a short-lived American right-wing magazine, and eventually is invited to a meeting at the home of William Randolph Hearst. The main conspirators at the meeting are Robert Welch and Lewis Hill, who were invested in creating an anti–Communist organization to replace the Communist Party USA after it was made illegal by Congress in 1919. Fast found that the men's "plan of attack," as he put it, was to "wage a campaign of vituperation and misrepresentation." The meeting ended without any kind of agreement. In 1939, Fast distances himself from the Communist Party USA, and begins to criticize it for what he considers its failure to support the Republican cause during the Spanish Civil War. He also criticizes fellow writer James T. Farrell, who was a member of the Communist Party USA and who had been a leader in the 1936–37 Auto-Lite Strike in Toledo, Ohio. cfa1e77820
