Is The 300 Spartans the same film as Zack Snyder's 300?
No, they are separate films made 44 years apart. The 300 Spartans was a 1962 20th Century Fox production, while 300 was Zack Snyder's 2006 adaptation of Frank Miller's graphic novel.
Who directed and starred in The 300 Spartans?
Rudolph Mate directed the CinemaScope epic, with Richard Egan as Leonidas. Ralph Richardson and Diane Baker also appear in the main cast.
Was The 300 Spartans filmed at the actual Thermopylae battlefield?
The production was filmed in Greece with support from the Greek government. Location records identify places such as Perachora and Lake Vouliagmeni, so the film should be treated as a Greek-location historical epic rather than proof that every scene was shot at ancient Thermopylae.
