This is a great movie even if it is not very historically accurate. Still, it is important because the ideas it presents are present today: man would be free to decide his destiny for himself. Spartacus says he is not an animal and Varinia adds that she is not either. This struggle between the slavers and the slaves has been ongoing and will continue so into the future of mankind, in every country.. The lessons have to be re-learned every generation or two because mankind has a short memory. In your fight to remain free, expect betrayal as the pirates did to the escaped slaves. Jean Simmons was about 31 at the filming, at her loveliest. The cast was filled with veteran actors: Olivier, Douglas, Laughton, Ustinov, and so many more.. How could you go wrong with the cast? A great movie if you are not troubled by historical inaccuracy..Read full review
I've been watching this movie since I was a child, I'm now 55 years old ; it is a "timeless classic" and should be owned by everyone who values a great show that never get old.

I had this title on VHS tape when it was first offered for release. However, my VCR damaged the first cartridge so I have been following the news until I finally found it. Believe me, the wait was worth it. The Blu-ray seemed to enhance the movie greatly!

Great movie I saw this in a movie theater as a child and enjoyed it very much. The Blu-ray makes it even greater. Kirk Douglas and Tony Curtis at their best.

Entertainment is one thing, but inspiration and philosophy are another. This film contains a profound story about the dignity of human life and the struggles against the evil forces of power and pride that try to control it. You'll not only be fully engaged by this story but also by the classic photography and genuine artistic acting that made this film such an epic. This is like a rare collection piece of artwork. You'll cherish it for years to come.
