    Watching the 1951 *Quo Vadis* (as you do) and it's just dawned on us It's AD 64 and Legio XIV are in Rome after *putting down the revolt* So, the prisoners of war here MUST be from the Iceni and Trinovantes A brief cameo from the Iron Age tribes of Britain! #BoudicaFriday #AncientBlueSky

    Peter Ustinov is batshit crazy as Nero in Quo Vadis (1951) & it’s brilliant to see. He got an Oscar nom for this & would go on to win two later in his career. He’s definitely the standout in this film. #filmsky

    Feb. 15, 1925: The Italian film “Quo Vadis,” an epic set in Ancient Rome amid the persecution of the Christians, has its U.S. premiere. After a troubled, costly production the movie is a failure both critically and at the box office, though Emil Jannings as Nero is praised.

    Atlantis, The Lost Continent (1961). Trashy Z-list programmer featuring an anachronistic death ray, a zaftig heroine, a dash of Dr. Moreau, and loads of back projection and stock footage from Quo Vadis. John Dall's last film, and he doesn't look too happy, sneering through gritted teeth.

    A fun related thing is having become a classic movie buff as an adult after growing up on Mel Brooks movies, and suddenly recognizing *really* specific references. E.g. Roman Empire in History Of The World has tons of Quo Vadis jokes, a gigantic hit in 1951 but not widely seen by later generations.

    As I once again attempted to watch the 1951 version of "Quo Vadis," I realized why I had never seen it. Robert Taylor as Marcus Vinicius is the worst casting decision in the history of cinema. But, inconceivably, the film's casting of Peter Ustinov as Nero is exceptional and beyond reproach!
