Quo Vadis (1951)

Even though it’s stagey, it can’t help but be interesting. Peter Ustinov plays Nero like a big spoiled baby -- he’s like a grown-up “Never” from Louie (I couldn't find a clip of Never, but if you've seen the ep, surely you'll agree).  He strums while Rome burns and then blames the Christians when the people escape and are understandably pissed. 

It’s no Ben Hur or Ten Commandments, and the main couple is pretty bland, but it’s not bad.
