The
Last
Days of Pompeii
Starring: Linda Purl, Olivia Hussey, Laurence
Olivier,
Ernest Borgnine, Lesley-Anne Down,
Nicholas Clay, Ned Beatty
& Anthony
Quayle
This six-hour TV adaptation
of Edgar Bulwer-Lytton's 1834 best-seller The Last Days of Pompeii was
arguably
more faithful to its source than any of the earlier film versions --
and
inarguably the most expensive version of all, boasting a
19,000,000-dollar
budget and a truly spectacular cast. In recounting the events leading
up to the
cataclysmic eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 A.D., the film, like the
novel,
introduces a veritable coliseum full of colorful fictional characters:
stalwart
Athenian Glaucus, religious-zealot Egyptian Arbaces, and mighty
gladiator
Lydon, all of whom vie for the affections of high-born Ione and lowly,
sightless slave girl Nydia. Also around and about are wealthy merchant
Diomed,
belly-dancing courtesan Chloe, and a handful of theatrical characters
along
with spectacular sets. Quite an
achievement for a TV movie.
