Editorial Review:
Description:
The first movie ever filmed in CinemaScope, THE ROBE ws nominated for five Academy Awards in 1953, including Best Picture and Best Actor for Richard Burton. Burton stars as Marcellus Galilo, the Roman centurian charged with overseeing the crucifixion. But when he wins Christ's robe in a gambling game at the foot of the cross, his life is forever changed.
Amazon.com:
When Roman tribune Marcellus Gallio (Richard Burton) is sent to Jerusalem, one of his assignments is the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. Marcellus, a cynical and hardened man, wins the robe Jesus wore to the crucifixion while gambling with other Roman soldiers underneath the dying savior. He later becomes convinced that his hallucinations and violent outbursts are the result of a curse received from the robe, which is now in the possession of his escaped slave, Demetrius (Victor Mature), somewhere in the Middle East. He sets out to find Demetrius in order to destroy the robe and the curse and finds faith instead, converting to Christianity. This was the first movie to be filmed in CinemaScope, and won Oscars in 1953 for costume design, art direction, and set decoration. The visual aspects of the film are stunning, and it may be worth viewing for that alone; however, the script and acting leave much to be desired, and you won't find inspiration in these areas if that's what interests you. If, however, you are more interested in this film for its religious matter, the story of the conversion of the hardened Marcellus is inspiring. --James McGrath

I high recommend if you haven't, you should watch this movie it is FANTASTIC! It is truly unfortunate that I only watched it because of my Religion class. I should have watched it a long time ago. A great biblical film that tells the story of a Roman Tribune who commands the unit who crucified Jesus Christ. Richard Burton stars tribune Marcellus Gallio did a great job. Great scene when Marcellus refuses at first and then tells Peter his role in the Crucifixion. Peter understands and tells Marcellus ... Read More

If you have read the book entitled "The Robe," you will be sorely disappointed in the movie. Lloyd Douglas, the author of the book, is perhaps one of the "greats" when it comes to writing religious historical fiction. The movie was nowhere near the book in terms of character development, plot, or climax. 90% of the movie was untrue to the book. I read another review which said that Mr. Douglas was so disappointed in the production of the film version that he refused to give Hollywood the rights ... Read More
