Douglas, and its 1953 film adaptation directed by Henry Koster and starring Richard Burton, Victor Mature, Jean Simmons, Michael Rennie, and Jay Robinson.Our Villain Protagonist Marcellus Gallio (Burton) is the soldier who crucified Jesus and won The Robe. Marcellus is driven mad from the touch of the robe, which is then taken away from him by his slave Demetrius (Mature) who has converted to Christianity. Marcellus soon embarks on a quest to recover The Robe and destroy it, believing this will restore his sanity. There's also the matter of his childhood sweetheart Diana (Simmons), who loves him and waits for him in Rome, even though Emperor Caligula himself (Robinson), has taken a fancy for her.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Notable as the first movie released in CinemaScope, which ushered in Hollywood's widescreen era. Alfred Newman composed the music score. Nominated for five Academy Awards, winning for art direction and costume design. Followed a year later by a sequel, Demetrius and the Gladiators, in which both Mature and Robinson reprised their roles. | |

Artistic License – History: Let's just say that this isn't the most rigorously researched dramatization of ancient Rome. Tiberius didn't die until AD 37, four years after the traditionally reckoned year of Jesus' death. The Romans certainly weren't arresting Christians during the reign of Caligula. There's no indication that the Romans even noticed the new cult until the expulsions of Claudius, but more securely the time of Nero a good quarter-century later. Caligula uses the Royal "We", is called emperor, etc. In actuality the Romans still paid lip service to the idea of a republic and the "emperor" would have been called princeps, which translates out to "first citizen"; that said, the title imperator (the root word for The Emperor) would have been used as a marker of martial prowess.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); }) | |
