Lobby cards set for FALL OF ROME (1963), here under its British title, ROME IN FLAMES (not to be confused with FIRE OVER ROME or CARTHAGE IN FLAMES). This is from the UK. Good set, with nice selection of images with actors. The downside: it's in black & white. But still nice. Remarkably enough, this film preceded the massive Hollywood epic, THE FALL OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE (1964).
The title used in the UK is certainly more accurate historically.
ReplyDeleteHistorically accurate is not a strong suit of Sword and Sandal films, be they made in Hollywood or Europe. Who cares? They do include some history and the main goal was to entertain.
