Quo Vadis

Rome burns. Nero fiddles. Christianity rises. And moviegoers turned out in throngs for this years-in-the-making film colossus boasting eight Oscar nomination (including Best Picture). Robert Taylor plays the Legion commander whose love for a Christian slave girl (Deborah Kerr) crosses the divide between Empire and a sect with higher loyalty. Presiding over all is Nero (Peter Ustinov). He is Caesar, madman, murderer an imperial ruler of the spectacular and spectacularly doomed, glory that was Rome. (Roadshow Entertainment)
