Hi All,
Here is the sum of my collection from Ebay and others. I'll omit those alreay mentioned.
Video:
Sign of the Pagan - Jack Palance as Attila
Last Days of Pompeii - 1968 and 1980s UK TV Mini Series
I Claudius
Hannibal - Victor Mature's eyebrows at their best
The Robe
Demetrius and Gladiators
Barabbas
The Last Roman
The Silver Chalice (Paul Newman's first film and well worth the full page add he took out apologising for it - also Jack Palance as Simon Magus (from Gergory of Tours). Elements of the plot taken from Arrigo Boito's opera Nerone (1924). There was also an oepra Nerone by Mascagni but we're ona different topic now.
Fire over Rome - dire
The Seven Gladiators
(one about Aurelian and Zenobia that I can't remember the title of at the moment)
TV series Cleopatra -early nineties
1980s Quo Vadis
DVD
1909 Nerone
Duel of the Champions - Alan Ladd as a Roman!?
Spartaco - 1950's Italian Spartacus
(there is a DVD called 'Gladiators' which has four films on it which has some truly woeful stuff - such as the Gauls' 'secret weapon' of a catapult.
2001 Quo Vadis
I suppose I should mention King Arthur - With Kiera Knightley telling us what an historical fact is!
There are some more but memory fails.
There is a new Be Hur release which has both the 1925 and the Charlton Heston version. Also the 1968 Last Days DVD has the 1913 silent version too.
All I secured at a modest price from ebay or Amazon.
My wish list includes Age of Treason with Bryan Brown as Didius Falco and the 1913 and 1924 Quo Vadis films.
Cheers
Murray
