Directed by
Ernest B. Schoedsack and Merian C. Cooper (uncredited)
USA 1935
This is an excellent and impacting film - a follow-up after
King Kong
from producer Merian C. Cooper (who also directs some scenes). It has some
intangibles that make it a timeless production. Preston Foster plays a
blacksmith on a mission after his wife and child are run-over by a chariot. He
enters the field of Gladiatorial combat as an ambitious assassin, but after his
success in the coliseum makes a sweet young boy (David Holt) an orphan, he
softens to adopt the child as his own. In typical older film fashion his
character comes full circle miraculously quickly, but it just all seems to work
so well. Actually the strength of the film is in the characterizations (Basil
Rathbone is excellent Pontius Pilate) but there is really no relation to the
catastrophic demise of Pompeii that we might be imminently expecting. Still a
fabulous Hollywood film, if inaccurate rending of the novel. We strongly
recommend.

| Comments: |
This is quite typical of Warner restorations from films of this same era. Grain showing and very decent contrast levels. It is relatively sharp. There are frequent vertical scratches but they are usually very light for the most part. Audio is consistent. This is better than I was anticipating and as good as it will get for this 70-year old film. There are no extras at all (which is somewhat surprising from Warner) but the price is right. We recommend. |
