Abstract
A major movie in the history of cinema—a nine reel version at a time in which no film longer than two reels had ever been produced. Running for more than an hour and a half, boasted the biggest sets and cast of any film made up to that time. Enjoyed spectacular international success, playing with full orchestral accompaniment in major cities. In Paris composer Jean Nogues called for a 150 voice massed choir. In New York City, where the movie was released on 21 April 1913, it had a run of two performances daily for 22 consecutive weeks at Astor Theater. Follows Sienkiewicz' 1895 novel quite closely. Starring Amleto Novelli (Vinicius), and Gustavo Serena (Petronius).
