After being forced to put on a gladiator show--that almost leads to his death--for wealthy Romans (including a marvelously conniving Laurence Olivier as the power-hungry Crassus), Spartacus leads a slave revolt across Italy that soon has thousands marching on Rome. Meanwhile, he has fallen in love with the beautiful Varinia (an effervescent Jean Simmons), pledging his life to her. <br> <br> Douglas assembled a fabulous all-star cast for the film; in addition to himself, Simmons, and Olivier, terrific performances are turned in by Charles Laughton as the curmudgeonly senator Gracchus, John Gavin as the young Julius Caesar, Tony Curtis as Antoninus (a "singer of songs," with all lines delivered in ...

No, *I* am Spartacus! SPARTACUS
Pros: Intelligent, insightful, epic, adventure and drama. Broke the Blacklist. Cons: Historical inaccuracies, and "modern" hairstyles. Bottom Line: A Superior Epic: Spartacus
Pros: Brilliant Acting, Direction, Score, and Cinematography Cons: None worth mentioning Bottom Line: A Politicized and Politicizing Movie
Pros: heartbreaking Cons: dialogue, historical inaccuracies Bottom Line: Spartacus (1960): Freedom Is Costly, But Freedom Is The Highest Earthly Aspiration
Pros: Inspiring. Cons: Longish. Bottom Line: In SPARTACUS, Men See Themselves.
Pros: Epic set pieces, generally well handled quieter scenes, classic Alex North score. Cons: The dialogue suffers at times from the Hollywood "Biblical" tradition. Bottom Line: It’s Not Kubrickian, But It Is Kubrick
Pros: A stunning cast delivering uniformly great performances, emotionally honest relationships and historical accuracy and detail. Cons: By modern standards, the battle scenes are fairly weak. Bottom Line: Tied with "Sand Pebbles" for best American war movie of the '60's.
Pros: Action, politics, characters transcending what they thought were their limits. Cons: Could have benefitted through the addition of plebian characters (neither slaves nor patricians) Bottom Line: Spartacus a Movie for all Time
Pros: were to start Cons: . Read More at Epinions.com Spartacus-a brief review by D M Wragg
