Another religious epic, melodramatic but entertaining enough.

With the exception of Ben-Hur and Spartacus I find the sword and sandals films of the 1950s to all suffer from bloated runtimes and severe over-acting. The Robe definitely suffers from these faults, and is also just plain boring most of the time. The sets and costumes are tremendous for their time, and there are some cool set pieces, but otherwise it's a mediocre bible movie.

It's not bad, not as overtly cheesy as many of these biblical epics are. The opening half is quite good actually, but the second half is heavy handed and tedious.

Erm... I'm an atheist and a fan of cult, exploitation and sleaze cinema, so I should be impermeable to this stuff. But I saw it as a kid, it has romans and swords and all those cool things - I saw it again and really liked it. Think I'll check "Jesus of Nazareth"...

Contains a fair amount of that 1950's cheesy epic feeling. Not really moving, really typical for the time and kind of boring. It's hard for me to imagine that this was done by the same man who directed Harvey, they are almost opposites.
