Demetrius And The Gladiators
This enormously successful sequel to "The Robe" continues the story of Demetrius (Victor Mature), the Greek slave who, after the death of his master, is sentenced to train as a gladiator in the Roman arena. There, his newfound Christian faith is put to the test when he has to contend not only with the swordsmen and wild beasts of the arena, but also the evil and sensuous Messalina (Susan Hayward) and the mad emperor Caligula (Jay Robinson). Crammed with astonishing action and fight sequences, this heroic epic is not to be missed!

After the death of his master, the Centurion Gallio, Demetrius (Victor Mature) is sentenced to train as a gladiator. Not only does he have to contend with swordsmen and wild beasts in the arena, he also had to deal with the evil Messalina and the mad emperor. His newly found Christian faith is put to the test in dealing with the evil and sensuous Messalina (Susan Hayward. Jay Robinson reprises his role as the evil and mad emperor Caligula and gives another excellent performance. This is the sequel to the Robe and nearly as good. It's an inspiring story filled with action. It's the kind of movie they don't make any more.
