I loved it, 13 April 2004

I saw this movie en 1964 when I was 19 years old and enjoyed every minute
of
it, I have seen it again and still enjoy it.
The cast is outstanding, a movie of the league of Ben Hur and The Ten
Commandments. Pity that no more movies like that are made
nowadays.I still remember some of the words by Commodus (after becoming
Caesar)
"let it be heard in the four quarters of the Empire that I Commodus, now
Caesar, proclaim Gaius Metelus Livius Pro Consul of the Roman Empire,
Commander in Chief of all the Roman armies, second only to Caesar
himself"An epic indeed.
