Quote:The first Roman epic completely filmed in color would actually be the 1945 version of "Caesar and Cleopatra" with Vivian Leigh and Claude Rains, if I'm not completely wrong.
You're right, Niedel. I forgot about that film.
Then "QUO VADIS ?" would be the first Hollywood Roman epic in color, IIRC.
I saw a really nice squamata in "Caesar and Cleopatra". It hasn't been released on DVD, afaik.
It's barely watchable for me but I'd buy it since it has some nice costumes (some horrible! ) and sets.
