Review of The Fall of the Roman Empire (1964) by Jim M — 26 Jul 2010
Big Epic Larger than life Enormous Long Movie about the downfall of the roman empire.
Includes thousands of actors, a real replica of Forum Romanum (bulit in Spain) and well equiped soldiers and good looking romans. And of course Sophia Loren in her role as hot Bambi turning up everywhere in the movie as sad, confused or angry.
It doesn't get more epic than this, but it's way to long. I watched the 2h 52min version and that could have been cut down a lot.
Largely not at all historically accurate. The spoken introduktion to the movie promises accuracy but after a while the producer and writer turns the history as they want, and the ending is just weird.
Nevertheless interesting and worth watching.
