Don’t Expect Subtlety
This movie has its virtues, but subtlety is not among them. It opens with a narrator telling us what to think about the story we’re about to see, and closes with a hymn sung over the end credits. In between Peter Ustinov plays Nero, and we know he must be mad because he pouts and rolls his eyes and chews every carpet in sight. Was this performance the inspiration for Jennifer Saunder’s Eddy on ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS? Watch Nero’s blubbering tantrum after he reads Petronius’s letter, and you’ll see what I mean.

The movie is visually sumptuous and (at least until the last hour or so) pretty entertaining, but every time the script diverges from the novel to engineer “big” Hollywood moments — Peter orating from the stands of the Colosseum, the climactic palace revolution, etc. — the action descends into melodrama and the acting seems very dated. The film gets preachier as it goes along, which is unfortunate; the filmmakers don’t seem confident that the images and situations can speak for themselves, so the message is shouted at the audience: Nero bad, Christians good! Well, yes, but because the prudish 1950s film-making won’t show the Christians actually suffering as they’re crucified (they sing hymns and look heavenward), there’s no real emotional involvement. We’re told what to think, but we’re not made to feel anything.

Two other versions, the 2001 Polish television series and the 1985 Italian mini-series — truly profound productions that capture the dark genius of Sienkiewicz’s novel (and the terror of Nero’s reign)— are both so vastly superior that they can’t even be compared to this campy Hollywood extravaganza.
