Scene from the Robe

Tribune Marcellus represents many who converted to the Catholic Faith. St. Longinus was the one who thrust a lance into the Lord's side. St. Sabastion, Patron of Athletes, joined the Roman Army to help Christians. Today, we are living in such a time that men and women are being called upon to stand up for Christ and His holy Catholic Church.

Every time I hear that, I hope that somewhere deep in Richard Burton's heart he meant it & that it stayed with him to the end.

[@PatriciaMoreno-ff8pr]

Yes. Love it too ! Richard Burton's role in this movie is just awesome ! The whole journey he goes through to get to this point ...the true protagonist ! He has all his dignity and courage here, even as he is about to lose his life. I love Diana's final speech too...telling unhinged ol' Caligula off & choosing to stand by her true love even into death. I remember watching this even as a child so many years ago and thinking, "Wow! What an awesome scene & moment !" Mesmerized back then, still mesmerized now ! The character of Marcellus (Burton) became my role model since way back then of what it was to be true to your beliefs and ultimately to yourself, and more specifically, what it meant to follow Christ.

[@bobbyfrancis8957]

@@PatriciaMoreno-ff8pr NO, you didn't read Burton's autobiography,did you? It wad published later in the 1960s. He said he does not believe in Christ. And also I found out, while he was making "The Robe" he was smoking cigarettes.

A noble ending, not a "happy" one, but representing the end of so many believers' lives. Well played and good dialogue. I did think the big smile by Diana is a tad unlikely in the face of what is bound to be a cruel death. But a good solid Hollywood Biblical film from the era. The did do justice to the growing faith in Jesus as the Messiah.

[@David-dz3ig]

I think the smile you're referring to was after Marcellus and Diana had died signifying they were already in Heaven with their King. :)

The same kind of martyrdom and heroism portrayed here by Burton & Co. as Marcellus and Diana were repeated over and over again.

The Robe is a 1953 American Biblical epic film that tells the story of a Roman military tribune who commands the unit that crucifies Jesus. The film was released by 20th Century Fox and is notable for being the first film released in the widescreen process CinemaScope. Like other early CinemaScope films, The Robe was shot with Henri Chrétien's original Hypergonar anamorphic lenses. The picture was directed by Henry Koster and produced by Frank Ross. The screenplay was adapted by Gina Kaus, Albert Maltz, and Philip Dunne from the Lloyd C. Douglas novel of the same name. The music score was composed by Alfred Newman and the cinematography was by Leon Shamroy. The first widescreen movie in more than two decades stars Richard Burton, Jean Simmons, Victor Mature and Michael Rennie, with Dean Jagger, Jay Robinson, Richard Boone, and Jeff Morrow. The Robe had one sequel, Demetrius and the Gladiators.

[@williamsnyder5616]

One of the backstories of "The Robe" happened 44 years after the film came out. When it was released in 1953, the credited screenwriter was longtime Fox veteran Philip Dunne. However, rumors circulated that someone else had written some, if not most of the screenplay instead of Dunne. No one, apparently, except for Fox studio chief Darryl Zanuck. In 1997, the truth came out. The Hollywood Screen Writers Guild restored the name of Albert Maltz as co-screen writer with Dunne. Maltz had been one of the Hollywood Ten, Hollywood personalites accused of being Communists. The adding of Maltz to the credits came months after Dunne died, but his widow said Dunne, a longtime Hollywood liberal, would have been pleased to share credit with Maltz for he believed the McCarthy Era was an evil story of American history. The next time you see the film, pay close attention to the scene where the Emporer Tiberius (played by Ernest Thesiger) sends Marcellus (Richard Burton) back to Palestine to find the robe and Christians. "I want NAMES, Tribune." I have to believe Maltz, thinking of the House Un-American Committee, wrote that line.

The actor that played Conigula did to good of a job with his hatred of Christians in the movie. Personally, I believe he was really that way. I also believe the next president after Trump, if our country is still around, will have all Christians be-headed as a fulfillment of Revelation 20:4

[@jamesvetromila6068]

Where would Hollywood be without the Roman empire ?? 😂

[@Sargonce1]

Though Caligula's crimes were many, he was never a "persecuting emperor," because Christianity was unknown in Rome in his time. There was no Catholicism as such until the rule of Constantine and his grandson Theodosius. The the first national group to embrace Jesus as a whole was the Assyrians, which makes the Assyrian Church -- the "Church of the East" -- far older than the Roman Church. The second oldest church is the Coptic Church of Ethiopia.

[@fcanonicus7044]

True, regarding Caligula, and about Catholicism per se, and organized Christianity as well. However, though unorganized, early Christianity began to sprout and grow throughout the Empire, first in Palestine, then throughout the Middle East, Greece and Italy, for many reasons, and in spite of the persecution. What is important here is the spirit of the what happened. From the very beginning, though records are scarce or few, the persecution against Christians began, as evidenced even in the Gospel narratives, as well as in the Book of Acts. Even Peter, and save for John who was the only apostle at the foot of the Cross, . . the rest of the apostles showed signs of weakness, often times until the last moments of their earthly lives in the face of such persecution. And yet, were all willing to give their lives for what they had experienced and believed. What is amazing is the record which has survived of what happened during those critical three to four years. Unmatched by any other historical manuscripts from antiquity, for its detail, its proximity to the actual events, and authenticity ! Simply amazing.

[@AI-hx3fx]

"And this, sire, was the greatest mistake ever made by Rome." Well yeah because you all went Christian after 300 years.

[@albionicamerican8806]

I like how Jean Simmons's character Diana publicly scolds and then "fires" Caligula as her king. Of course, she has no evidence that the dead Jesus became the judge and ruler of the dead in the afterlife, despite Marcellus' belief. So it's not rational for her to believe that she's "hiring" Jesus as her new king.

[@theonewhoknocks.651]

I love people who record shit off a screen and then upload it to KZbin.

[@fothgt]

Historically, at this time in the Roman Empire, there was not a Holy Catholic Church. There where believers in Christ, first among Jews in Judea and the message of Christ spread outside those of Israel. It's anachronistic to say Christians of that Era converted to the Catholic Faith. That is to say that they embraced all that Catholics today embrace, the just about deification of Mary, patronage to the saints, transubstantiation, the holy Father being head of the church on the earth. It's about coming to Christ for believers. We need to stop reading Christian History from our Christian Church tradition lens to exalt whatever manifestation of the faith we claim to be a part of. Jesus Saves, Jesus is Lord.

This is much more mythology than history. The truth is that at this time (c. 40 AD) the Christian movement was extremely tiny, and more than likely beneath Caligula's notice. Almost entirely confined to Palestine, and indistinguishable from the myriad other religious cults that existed in the Roman Empire.

So after 2 hours 15 minutes, the film is ultimately about two religious fanatics who wilfully commit suicide in the name of their god. It all sounds very familiar. Imagine, if you were to replace the subject matter with the prophet Muhammad and Islam, then suddenly it would all take on a completely different significance. It's only because Hollywood always legitamised Christianity in this era, then wove it into the very fabric of these biblical epics, as a form of doctrinal brainwashing - that people are prepared to buy into it as _some glorious and valid martyrdom,_ and not to really question it... Notice also, that their horrible deaths are purposely left out of the imagery, as that would've been ugly, and would've run counter to the beatific, divine depiction of their *_'holy deaths'._*
