Before Ben Hur, before Gladiator, there was Quo Vadis.
And, if truth be told, Quo Vadis came after those other two films there would be even more questions left unanswered. For Quo Vadis, although not a particularly poor film in any regard, fails to capture more than passing interest. It is, perhaps more so now with its newly remastered and restored print (and on blu-ray too no less), the perfect visual showcase. The set pieces are stupendous and the colors, soundtrack, and atmosphere created in the picture are cutting edge for the era.
