Quotes: as Marcus enters As usual your entrance is proud and aloof.: I came proudly as fast as my hands and knees will carry me.: And as always, sardonic and unassailable.: So happily, so unassailable? I've never been so readily expertly vanquished in my life.: I believe everything except the word vanquished.: Suggestively while taking wine I should like to vanquish you Marcus.: Like the spider who eats her mate when he is no longer a necessity?: Suggestively Mmm-Hmmm - Something like that.
I first saw this film as a re-run in 1964-on the big screen. Much is lost, I think, when viewing it on television. Peter Ustinov's portrayal of the emperor Nero raises the bar for anyone else who is ever cast as an unbalanced and corrupt Roman emperor. Certainly, we don't see this style or quality of acting in newer films such as 'Gladiator.'
I focus on the 'Nero' character more than others because Ustinov was truly able to get inside the role, and appeared to stay very focused. Robert Taylor was fine in the movie, but his role could have been handled by nearly any leading man of the time. Ditto for Deborah Kerr. The remaining cast was very, very good. The set designs and costumes were sheer artistry and the score was effective and complimentary.
I recommend this to anyone who is interested in spectacles and studying fine acting techniques (i.e., Ustinov's).
