Review of Quo Vadis (1951) by Josh R — 22 Oct 2012
The only major film in the history of Hollywood where the viewer must endure the persecution of the Early Church, and not just for five minutes. Brilliant filmmaking, even if a dab of the material (and the story's title) is based on a section from the apocryphal book Acts of Peter, thus making the title and a certain scene at the end legendary at best.
But none of this diminishes one bit the impact of the story or the very real heinous persecutions endured by early Christians at the hands of Nero.
