Thirty tame, toothless lions, many fine Roman matrous dressed in the best 1932 drapery, flashing chariots, and tons of Roman cutlery, not to mention several yards of early Christian beards, exciting pagan dancing, and several guileless babes to add the pathetic note, go into the production of a piece that rivals "Ben Hur" in intensity of action and elaborateness. Fredric March, as Marcus Superbus, prefect of Rome, who goes to death in the arena because...
