Quo Vadis (1951) by Mervyn LeRoy
After the MGM epic classic Gone With The Wind (1939), this historical drama film by Marvin LeRoy was the studio's highest grosser and most expensive to produce. Mostly shot in Italy, Quo Vadis is an adaptation of the novel of the same name that tackles the final years of the Roman Empire's persecution of Christians. The cast is led by Marcus Vinicius, a fictional character, who is a Roman military commander under the reign of Emperor Nero. Featured as well in the film is Peter, an apostle of Christ who led the early Christian church and paved way for the creation of the Roman Catholic Church.
