The Zurich bank account that Bronston swore he never had
In this episode, we lay out the rise and fall of Samuel Bronston’s audacious filmmaking gamble and the bankruptcy and courtroom drama that followed. We trace how a single question about a Zurich bank account and a precise answer turned a financial collapse into a landmark legal fight: what actually happened next?
Person: Samuel Bronston
Event: Production of The Fall of the Roman Empire
Location: Las Matas, Spain
Date: London premiere March 24, 1964; New York opening March 26, 1964
Status: Chapter 11 bankruptcy filed June 1964
- Built the largest exterior film set of its time in a field outside Las Matas to recreate the Roman Empire for The Fall of the Roman Empire.
- Spent $16,000,000 producing the film while box office returns totaled $4,800,000, creating an $11,200,000 deficit that threatened Bronston Productions.
- Pierre S. du Pont III had guaranteed financing, then assumed control after Bronston owed him over $5,600,000.
- Bankruptcy proceedings followed and attorneys focused on asset traces, including the existence of a bank account in Zürich.
- Under oath, Bronston gave a narrowly worded answer about the Zurich account that became central to a federal perjury dispute escalating to the U.S. Supreme Court.
