Title: UnFabiolous
Review: Fabiola was a major international success when it was released abroad in 1947. Boasting gigantic sets, crowds of thousands and a stellar international cast-Fabiola told its story of Christian martydom in 150 minutes. With its massive recreation of the Colisseum, gladiatorial bouts, the Christian persecution. It was a sight to behold. In 1951 Hercules producer Joe Levine took the original film, edited it down to 89 minutes and dubbed it into English--just to get the jump on MGM's massive Quo Vadis which basically covered the same territory. Fabiola is better in its original running time--even in black and white. This is the grindhouse version. Beware.
