Short description
Drunk and disillusioned Roman, Marcellus Gallio, wins Jesus' robe in a dice game after the crucifixion. Marcellus has never been a man of faith like his slave, Demetrius, but when Demetrius escapes with the robe, Marcellus experiences disturbing visions and feels guilty for his actions. Convinced that destroying the robe will cure him, Marcellus sets out to find Demetrius — and discovers his Christian faith along the way.
What's left behind the scenes
- “The Robe” was the first film shot in “CinemaScope” format and the first film to feature that logo on screen.
- Richard Burton, being an atheist, strongly disliked this film. The actor was astonished to receive an Oscar nomination after critics had almost unanimously described his performance as “wooden”.
- The opening scene of the film after the credits is actually footage from the sequel “Demetrius and the Gladiators” (1954).
- Many of the film's posters feature not Jean Simmons, who played Diana, but actress Jean Acres, who left the production due to pregnancy.
