"This is one of my favorite films. Kirk Douglas is passionate and athletic as the historical ex-gladiator Spartacus. He and his close friend, played by Tony Curtis, are wonderfully cast and suited for the roles that each play. Sir Laurence Oliver, Jean Simmons, and Peter Ustinov are incredible as the people in his life that either love or hate him. This film has the perfect mix of history, action, and romance; not too much of one, and just a little of the other. I believe that it still holds up to even modern standards of the swords and sandals genre s tion films."

"I’m Spartacus!"

"Kirk Douglas said playing Vincent van Gogh in **** for Life (1956) was his favorite role but Spartacus (1960) was his favorite film because, as producer, he took a big step toward breaking the Hollywood blacklist. Rest in peace. "

"Movies like this have not been made in 50 years. Thousands of extras & I can't imagine the logistics of filming. I want to see this at the theater, TCM played Lawrence of Arabia in Nashville on large screen & it was a great experience."
