Quo Vadis? <Italian-German> (1925) is a feature film (silent, B&W, 90m), directed by Gabriellino D'Annunzio and Georg Jacoby.

~ Screenplay by Gabriellino D'Annunzio and Georg Jacoby, based on Quo Vadis? (1895 Sienkiewicz), novel

Abstract

Fifth silent version of Sienkiewicz's novel. The grandioso production, starring Emil Jannings as Nero, with a cast of 20,000 extras, was the major attempt in early Fascist Italy to recapture the success of the historical epics of the previous decade. Emil Jannings' performance received indeed some praise, but as a whole the movie was a critical and commercial failure.
