Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
"Welcome to Nero's House of Women" greets a concubine to a slave girl, Lygia (Deborah Kerr). Later this self-same greeter reveals that she, too, like Lygia, is really a fellow Christian neophyte. And it's that mixture of tawdry Hollywood sex and a strong Christian message that makes this film an enjoyable "gentiles and gladiators" flick. Marcus Vinicius returns home after conquering the Britons to find that Rome is infected with a crazy new sect called Christians and that his beloved emperor Nero (Peter Ustinov, roly-poly and wicked) has become increasingly wacky. Marcus tries his centurion wiles on Lygia, and she's smitten, but she's also a Christian convert and begs Marcus not to force her to choose between him and her god. The Christians have a tough go of it, with martyrdom in the Coliseum as punishment for belonging to the new religion in town. Though three hours long, director Mervyn LeRoy's film always has something going on. It could help you enjoyably kill any rainy Sunday afternoon. --Keith Simanton, Amazon.com

Synopsis
The epic tale of the birth of Christianity. Vinicius, Emperor Nero's centurion, falls in love with a Christian and causes a catastrophe. Includes the original theatrical trailer.

4.0 out of 5 stars great and magnificent in every sense, 30 Jun 2003
By Gabriela (Sevilla) - See all my reviews
I love it. From all the epics made in Hollywood it has the best script. I don't know another one that makes me laugh. This one truly has a good sense of humor and sarcasm. Not to forget the story about love, hate, courage - simply everything that makes a good movie. The actors are great - no one will forget Peter Ustinov's performance, and Robert Taylor - here he is not only as handsome as a man can be, his acting is also fine with a good sense of irony, great professionalism, topped by a very charming appearance.

5.0 out of 5 stars Superb!, 26 Jan 2001
By A Customer
This film was made in 1951. The film has been based on the principate of Emperor Nero of the Roman Empire. The film starring Robert Taylor and Deberrah Kerr is a superb adaptation of the book written. The scenery and sets are the best I have ever seen. And the acting a collosus in entertainment. All in all, this film is great!
