Description
THE LAST DAYS OF POMPEII – 1935 – WITH PRESTON FOSTER – RARE DVD – COLORIZED
Peaceloving blacksmith Marcus refuses lucrative offers to fight in the arena…until his wife dies for lack of medical care. His life as a gladiator coarsens him, and shady enterprises make him the richest man in Pompeii, while his son Flavius (who met Jesus on a brief visit to Judaea) is as gentle as Marcus once was. The final disaster of Marcus and Flavius’s cross purposes is interrupted by the eruption of Vesuvius.
Directors: Ernest B. Schoedsack, Merian C. Cooper. Stars: Preston Foster, Basil Rathbone, Alan Hale.
