[ale] Baffled on chmod usage

I want to chmod all the .exe files within and below the directory "public,"
so I go:
# cd /<path>/public
# chmod -Rv 555 *.exe
but I get
chmod: *.exe: No such file or directory
FWIW, there are no .exe files in public, but there are many of them
scattered in directories underneath public. What I especially don't
understand is that if I go
# chmod -Rv 555 *
then everything and its brother in public and below gets chmodded. I can
use some other extension besides .exe that I know is present but I still get
No such file or directory.
Am I misusing wildcards in bash or something?
