QUO VADIS, a MGM production from 1951 that was the biggest epic up until that time, will be released on domestic DVD in a two-disc set from Warner Brothers. Street date is November 11th. I've sampled the DVD, and the Technicolor is amazing. So many shots are framed as if artistic photographs. They really did know how to make movie magic in those days. Robert Taylor, Deborah Kerr, Leo Genn, and Peter Ustinov star. Ustinov is particularly superlative as Nero.
The two-disc set is being offered on Amazon.com for the amazing price of $14.99. Order directly here.
I will be adding commentary about this release, but, for now, here are several screen captures from the presentation:
