Quo Vadis (1951)

In this multi-Oscar®-nominated* "gigantic king of all pictures" (Hollywood Reporter), a pagan aristocrat (Robert Taylor) enters into a forbidden relationship with a beautiful Christian girl (Deborah Kerr) during the waning days of Nero's Rome. Capturing the sweep and scope that was ancient Rome - complete with mob scenes, sadistic orgies, Christian martyrs and the tumultuous burning of the city itself Quo Vadis is "one of the most tremendous if not the greatest pictures ever made" (Los Angeles Times ).
