Spartacus Out of the Closet...

Rating: 7/10 (26 May 2019)

Thank you Netflix for having this available. Despite around 60 years since it was released still mostly watchable.
There was a real Spartacus though this picture is simply the makers fantasy about a slave who wants to be free so he fights the establishment.
Spectacular action and a cast of thousands..
The British players totally steal the show. Tony Curtis almost ruins it with his New York accent and wooden performance; plus he and all the actors spout 1950/60's haircuts et al which makes a mockery of the intended era.
However there is sufficient entertainment in this movie to give it a decent rating but a mark is deducted for the appalling Tony Curtis. The film also portrays the latter as the gay toy boy of some of the main protagonists in the movie. I do not know if that aspect was in the original movie in 1960 or revealed only in the restored version.
All in all:

7/10.
