Theodora, Slave Empress

I wish I could see this film in good quality DVD. One thing that I really liked about the film was the fact that it takes place in the later Eastern Roman Empire under Justinian. This is the only film that I have ever seen covering this period. Most Sword and Sandal films don't seem to go much past 40 AD or so.

Very well done Chariot Race scene especially in view of the fact that it was done five years before William Wylers "Ben Hur". I'm not sure about the aspect ratio of the film. The IMDb says it is 1.33:1.

The director isn't afraid to take the camera outdoors and the sets are pretty good too.
