Quo Vadis (1951)

Starring: Robert Taylor, Deborah Kerr, Peter Ustinov

Director: Mervyn LeRoy

Quo Vadis is a question and an answer. It's Latin for "Where are you going?" And it's the answer to where movie goers were going in 1951. This big budget spectacular of ancient Rome (recipient of eight Academy Award nominations including Best Picture) was the year's #1 box-office hit and its studio's biggest success since Gone With The Wind.

Robert Taylor plays Marcus Vinicius, commander of Rome's 14th Legion and in love with Lygie (Deborah Kerr), a member of the Christian sect accused of undermining Roman values. Peter Ustinov, wrapped in purple-robed petulance, is the all powerful Nero, the madman, murderer - an imperial ruler of the spectacular and spectacularly doomed glory that was Rome. The destinies of these three and of the Empire play out in a tale whose visual highlights include the parade of triumphant legions, the burning of Rome and the martyrdom of Christians before cheering Coliseum throngs.
