Marcus Aurelius…now there’s a name I haven’t heard in a long time. A long, long time.

Holywood used huge background paintings... these sometimes come up for auction !

Richard Harris was originally wanted for Commodus in this Guy was replaced by Christopher Plummer. And Christopher Plummer was originally wanted for Marcus Aurelius in Gladiator but was replaced with Richard Harris

"Not just 4 or 5 thrills but ..." Of course this is before the sophistication of "In a world ..." trailers. Sometimes my favorite part of going to movies with my family in the 1960s was seeing the trailers for "coming attractions."

it shocks to me to this day that this film flopped. And it's incredible that Gladiator was able to retell this story and thrive. Such a testament to how timing of release is important.

The Great movie about Ancient Rome.

One of the finest movie ever

The fall of the roman empire i always have seen as a remake of cleopatra the movie has a grand scale as cleopatra movie sets gigantics the costumes and so go on

When they line those guys up at the edge of the cliff....Damn, cold blooded, but more than any words explains the success of the Roman army. I bet that really happened. They re-make "The Fall" with "Gladiator." It wins best picture. That's the story from 800 years of Rome that gets re-made. Lots and lots and lots of violence in Rome's history. In all history. I wonder how we reconcile that?

It was a good movie.

Unfortunately this historical film flopped badly when released in 1964. Plenty of fiction was infused that has nothing to do with the actual history. However grandeur of this old movie cannot be denied.

Hello- unfortunately a blu-ray disc of this ilm has never been released in the U.S.. there was an all regions blu-ray disc from Europe but it was in the wrong aspect ratio.

They need to reboot this at the right time

The film didn't work, but Christopher Plummer's performance as Commodus was one the best of his career. He galvanized the screen, a really magnetic performance full of egotism, malignancy and misnathropy.

Didn't work how? Was it box office dud? What do you want in an epic, historical accuracy with no allowance for artistic lisense, as such?

Soo i think i have to watch this movie at least four times to really comprehend it! Otherwise, i need to get this in my media collection!!!!

If you can find Russel Crowe in this movie do not be troubled, for you are in Elysium.

There would have been a lot of color in Ancient Rome, and even Ancient Greece. Not just the white lime we are so familiar with. They should make a modern remaster of this where they enhance the color of all the buildings to looks more realistic to the time period.

*eye roll* The economies doing great, our military is doing great, unemployment is way down, unemployment for minorities has hit record lows since the 1970's, etc Our country is doing great under Trump and that's the truth.

It’s a ripping great yarn and a shameless distortion of the truth

But no one mentions the hand above the government which starts all the wars. The one that betrays Genesis 1:29.

miles better than gladiator, pro actors

How many times do they say the name Livius in this film...its as bad as Simon ides every five minutes in Ben Hur and Morning Mishal every time she fronts the Today programme . Apart from a very weak script this film is a monster of magnificence and a Rome that most tragically and dutifully fell right before our eyes.

Im here watching and imagining the fall of merika, the traitor of the world.

this movie need a 4k restoration because this low quality sucks 😉😉

Used to see these great old Roman films at the cinema back in the early to mid 60s. One film still escapes me even though I remember a scene from it, I am sure it had no huge actors in it, so at a guess it was an Italian or Spanish film dubbed in English. I guess I will never see it!
