Demetruis and the
Gladiators (1954)
Directed by Delmer
Daves this sequel to The Robe (1953) stars Victor Mature, Susan
Hayward Jay Robinson and Debra Paget. Following the events of the
previous film Demetrius is working as a potter when he becomes
sentenced to be a gladiator for failing to give up the robe to
Caligula.
Compared to The Robe
this film lacks the quality plot of the original and has a suspect
crisis of faith story line that is an excuse for a gladiator film.
Using your brain too much is probably not a good idea as the actions
of the protagonist are not exactly logical. The direction is not bad
but again is not up to the scope and scale of this film's
predecessor.
2/5
