Customer Reviews of Quo Vadis (1951)
Quo Vadis Quo Vadis is a great classical film starring Robert Taylor, Deborah Kerr and Peter Ustinov. It's on the MGM/UA Turner Collection Library own by Time/Warner Studio and it sits without an official DVD release preserving the aspect ratio of its original theatrical exhibition, while a terrible poor quality imports are been sold on the internet for over $40 each. <
> <
>I can't comprehend why Time Warner Home Video have not taken notice of this and put a film dealing with the First Judeo/Christian Holocaust on a fast track restoration for a 2005 DVD release. <
> <
>It's time for Time/Warner that would soon re-release a "Ben-Hur Collectors Edition" take also notice that "QUO VADIS" is a profitable asset to the studio sitting idle. <
> <
>Among other on their classic movies collection, like is the case of Jack Hawkins "Land Of The Pharaohs" written by the great Willian Faulkner as well as another film directed by Vicente Minnelli "The 4 Horsemen Of The Apocalypse" starring Glenn Ford, Charles Boyer which deals about the Horrors of Nazi Germany. <
> <
>All these classics of the 1950's vintage should have already been on Anamorphic Widescreen Restored DVD releases, instead of gathering dust forgotten at the Time/Warner's Studios Film Library Vault. <
> <
>Can some body at Time/Warner order someone to please release them on DVD. <

a tremendous film., and disturbing
this is, IMO, the best of all of the christian epics. including "ben hur" and "the ten commandments." it's magnificent in scope and in detail, and more human and passionate than it's competitors.
<
>
<
>but this film is not for children. the scenes at the end, with the lions, are among the most terrifying in movie history. death is scary enough, and execution terrifying, and this adds an extraordinary element to it.
<

<
>as a society, we once exposed children to too much violendce. we've learned since then, and i think it is important to turn this dvd off near the end if children are watching.
Bulls Are Very Dangerous at the Circus!
The '50 was the "Sword & Sandal Movies" decade. Uncountable films of the genre were released. The most notable: "The Ten Commandments" (1956) and "The Robe" (1958). Also in a very good supporting second line "The Egyptian" (1954), "Land of Pharaohs" (1955) and "Helen of Troy" (1956).
<
>"Quo Vadis?" (1951) was in the middle, not as good as the two first but better than the others.
<
>
<
>The story starts with the return to Rome of victorious General Marcus Vinicius, who is received by his uncle Petronius, a very important Counselor at Nero's court.
<
>Marcus is suddenly enamored of Lygia, a Christian slave at his uncle's service.
<
>Lygia due to her beliefs reject the attractive General who tries to forget her in Nero's orgiastic nights, but to no avail.
<
>Nero in his folly starts a sanguinary Christian persecution, after blaming them of burning Rome. Lygia and her faithful bodyguard Ursus are thrown into dungeon to await their martyrdom. Marcus Vinicius try to rescue them against all odds.
<
>A curious detail of the movie: it shows Christian personalities as St. Peter and St. Paul and life in the catacombs.
<
>
<
>Main characters were given to Robert Taylor as Marcus Vinicius and Deborah Kerr as Lygia whom performed in standard mode. Leo Genn as Petronius is a step above them, but the real outstanding performance was done by Peter Ustinov as the Emperor.
<
>This was Peter's specialty, similar good acting may be seen in "The Egyptian" and "Spartacus".
<
>Buddy Baer as a precursor of Stallone and Schwarzenegger was great in his fight against the bull at the Circus.
<
>Elizabeth Taylor and Sophia Loren have uncredited cameos.
<
>
<
>This film was credited with seven Oscar Nominations and won no one. Significantly Ustiov and Genn were candidates for Best Actor in Supportive role.
<
>Musical score authored by Budapest born Miklos Rozsa was also nominated.
<
>
<
>It is a very entertaining "Sword and Sandal", if you like this kind of movies do not miss this one!
