"Quo Vadis" Is an excellent adaptation of the novel by Henryk Sienkiewicz about the vicissitudes experienced by the first Christians in Nero's Rome, which has a correct balance of adventure and romance, with an impressive historical drama setting as the background.
The most fascinating aspect of this movie is the unforgettable performance of Peter Ustinov in the role of Nero, which practically steals the movie, and the great performance of Deborah Kerr which gives a great sense of dignity to the insipid character that she plays. Also, the soundtrack by Miklos Rozsa was simply excellent.
"Quo Vadis" is a big, beautiful love story that deserves more recognition that it gets. It is one of the best historical and adventure films from the 50's.
