Rating: 4.5/5 -- Perhaps the first modern film musical -- breaking with and even making sport of the theatrical artifice that had been bogging down the genre for nearly a decade. Full Review

Rating: 2/4 -- Humorous to an extent, but lacking the bang you might expect from a big screen musical. Full Review

3 stars out of 5 -- [The film] boasts inspired casting....Phil Silvers glitters....Michael Hordern is disturbingly persuasive...

Rating: 6/10 -- A funny thing happened on the way to Hollywood: A good musical-comedy lost much of its fizz.

Rating: 4/5 -- A great mixture of slapstick, farce and music. Zero Mostel is a treat as is the underappreciated Jack Gilford.

Product Description:

Based on the Broadway musical comedy, this farce set in Ancient Rome follows slave and scam-artist Pseudolus (Zero Mostel in a signature role) as he attempts to win his freedom by brokering the sale of a virgin. Stephen Sondheim's score adds to the appeal.
