Ratings and reviews

The robe Richard Burton, Jean Simmons the guy who played Caligula the emperor of Rome it is just fantastic writing acting Technicolor this is movie royalty right here no other way you can put it and furthermore it is one of the best movies that has ever been, today's producers and actors need to make this a mandatory watch and lesson learning film.

The story of the robe Jesus wore to the cross Richard Burton did a great job as Marcellus and Jean Simmons as Diana Victor mature as demetrius and other the best part was when Marcellus tells off Caligula and Diana also does it. Jay North played Caligula the sick emperor of Rome

I think the chef d'oeuvres of old Hollywood are nothing compared to today's movies, this a great movie were great acting and amazing old traditional screen writing produced something that is called art, the robe is one of the greatest movies of the classical color era of Hollywood cinema
