Director Cecil B. DeMille's
sweeping epic set in 64 A.D. snagged an Oscar nod for Best Cinematography. Looking for a scapegoat after burning Rome, Emperor Nero (Charles Laughton)
blames the Christians & inflames anti-Christian sentiment. Meanwhile, Roman magistrate Marcus Superbus (Fredric March)
walks a fine line between his duty & his love for a Christian girl -- a liaison that doesn't sit well with the envious empress (Claudette Colbert).
Rated UR 2 hours 5 minutes 1932
1 star. We didn't enjoy this at all. Totally bored with it.
