This and SAMSON AND DELILAH ushered in the era of the Biblical epics which lasted till the failure of THE GREATEST STORY EVER TOLD in 1965. QUO VADIS is a prime example of the genre -- a bit stiff and stilted at times but filled with some awesome moments. Robert Taylor's triumphant entrance into Rome remains one of the most spectacular moments in all of moviedom. Peter Ustinov's performance as Nero is a delight and Deborah Kerr never looked lovelier. Not a great movie but a great entertainment.
