One the greatest epic films of Hollywood's Golden Age. It still holds up which is the testimony of a real classic. The themes of conflict and love are timeless and relevant today. This film aged well and one of the few films I have seen at different stages of my life and every time I discovered something new. This film is the real deal with a great story set on the actual locations with a cast of thousands that's a thing of the past in the CGI age. It's the forefather of "Gladiator" with strikingly similar characters such as a wronged and fallen hero, treacherous royal siblings, and fight for glory and freedom. It's an underrated film and didn't get the recognition it deserved at the time of its release. Charlton Heston delivers a fine performance and Sophia Loren shows her talent as an actress and movie star and proves that she's every bit of a screen goddess and rightly so at the height of her beauty.YRCinema's coverage of films on DVD.
