Originally released as a motion picture in 1932.
Based on the play by Wilson Barrett.
"From the archives: the theatrical re-release in 1944 was heavily edited due to the strict production code that had been enforced since 1934."
Fredric March, Elissa Landi, Claudette Colbert, Charles Laughton.
This struggle between Christian and pagan in ancient Rome thrills on the grand scale. The half-mad Emperor Nero delights in burning the city and blaming the fire on the Christians so he can slaughter them. In the midst of this, Rome's Prefect has the misfortune to fall in love with a Christian maiden and to be desired by Nero's powerful Empress, whom he spurns. The stage is thus set for a spectacular enactment of some of the most chilling events of all time.
