Description
Cast: Kirk Douglas, Laurence Olivier, Jean Simmons
In honor of Kirk Douglas’ 100th birthday, we present the great star in the title role of this sweeping epic about the leader of a Roman slave rebellion. Director Kubrick balances the performances of a stellar cast - that also includes Charles Laughton, and an Oscar-winning Peter Ustinov - with stunning action set-pieces to create a fascinating mural of masculine erotics, patrician decadence, brutal athleticism, and headstrong fealty.
