5.0 out of 5 stars The Robe, 19 Jun 2006

By	dorf "dorf" (UK) - See all my reviews

I rate this film 5 star for its content, drama and the original shooting and production. However, beware some copies of this DVD since at least one version of the transcription from film to DVD has severe faults on the sound track, with pronounced WOW and FLUTTER in some sections which goes on for some while. This entirely spoils the drama and the film for me. I am still trying to find a copy without this defect, so far unsuccessfully.

When so much was spent on this production as the very first in the new format at that time of Cinemascope, with multi-channel stereo sound, it is totally amazing that Fox could allow this gross error in the transcription of this film to DVD. Viewing this DVD in the two copies which I have purchased so far and sent back as faulty, is like going to a run-down cinema where the projectionist is an amateur bungler, and is using a worn and tired copy of a film on the circuit with a worn-out projector which is on the point of expiry and collapse! It spoils the whole experience. The film copy used for the only transcript which I have found so far also is clearly a well-used worn one, with damage to the film emulsion and resulting scratches and flashes on screen.

This film was so good, with such good acting and drama that it really deserves more respect from the people at Fox who got this transcription completely wrong. They just don't seem to be able to make films on this sort of scale or quality any more.

Try to get a good copy of a proper transcript to DVD if one exists. Then watch this with your family. It is a real family film and one which clutches at your heart strings, unless you are the sort of person with no heart at all.

5.0 out of 5 stars Inspiring and timeless., 3 Sep 2006

By	Uenna (London) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

This is one of the most inspiring films ever made. It tells the tale of the Roman Centurion Marcellus Gallio, charged with overseeing the Crucifixion of Christ and the fate of the Robe of Christ which was taken off him during the Crucifixion. The power emanating from the Robe he wore had a telling effect on all who came in contact with it especially the centurion who won the Robe in a gambling game at the foot of the Cross. Beautifully told and acted. Richard Burton was excellent as the Centurion with Jean Simmons as his love interest. Thumbs up to Victor Mature for his excellent portrayal of the centurion's defiant slave. This is a very spiritual and inspiring movie and one I think every viewer will enjoy as it has much to offer. They sure don't make them like this anymore.

4.0 out of 5 stars Old classic, 13 Mar 2009

By	Planetary Consultant (Kerguelen Islands) - See all my reviews

Silly to say, these films are easy to slag off, but I do get a lump in the throat when I watch this one.

It might be worthwhile to drag your little kiddies away from their shoot-em-up Sony Playstations and UZI revenge fantasies and have them learn something about their historical past and culture.

They'll probably complain however there are no CGI effects and car explosions filmed from 37 different angles.

No, this movie only is about people, guilt, retribution, and deliverence.
