Based on a best-selling novel by Lloyd C. Douglas, THE ROBE is one of the best Biblical epics of all time. Richard Burton stars as Marcellus Gallio, a Roman who, after leading the crucifixion of Christ, takes home JesusÂ’ robe and is subsequently torn by nightmares and guilt. A distraught Marcellus makes his way back to Palestine, where a humble attempt to discover more about the man who died by his hand puts him on a miraculous path toward redemption. Originally released in 1953, this crisp and vibrant film was one of the first to be filmed in beautiful, expansive CinemaScope. It was nominated for five Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Actor, Best (Color) Cinematography, Best (Color) Costume Design, and Best (Color) Set Direction-Art Direction. Jean Simmons, Victor Mature, and Jay Robinson offer stellar supporting roles.

    Beatifully done, considering the technology of the time. The volume of the sound was not consistent, stay away from the speakers. The story appeals to people with Christian beliefs. Love conquers all.

    Pros: Fantastic

    Cons: None

    I Saw this Movie in 1953 As A young boy.
    I was one of the most fantastic movies of its time.
    To bad they could not produce pictures like this in this age but the cost would too much.
