Title: Puts "Gladiator" to shame
Review: A classic gladiator film that still holds up decades later. This has so many things going for it. It's presented in its original Super Technirama 70 widescreen format - watching this any other way is unthinkable, similar to Lawrence of Arabia. This edition has a plethora of extras, and it's anamorphic, unlike the Universal dvd. Perhaps most endearing is the performance by Jean Simmons. She is so beautiful and luminous here - I can see why Spartacus was in love with her! A great, great film with many superb performances. This is the one to get.
