5/10
Overblown epic.
4 April 2010
This is one of those films that is so bad it is entertaining. It is a preposterous movie, poorly acted by most, only Angela Lansbury brings any good acting to the film. Victor Mature's performance is dreadful, and he overacts beyond belief.

It is laughably inaccurate. It is so overdone in every way, the costume design is so blindingly colorful, the art direction is gaudy and extreme. The score is unbearably intrusive.

It is way overlong and director Cecil B. DeMille is to blame for the films absurdness. The Hungarian, Brooklyn and English accents of the cast members certainly do not add any authenticity to the film. It is clear quite a lot of money went into the film, too bad it wasn't used for better results.
