By 52 BC, the Republic of Rome has conquered most of the nations that ring the Mediterranean Sea. Julius Caesar is waging a campaign of northern conquests to gain poIitical prestige back home, part of his power-hungry bid to gain dominance in the Roman senate. He has set his sights on Britain, but before the invasion of the island can begin, Caesar must subdue rebellious GauI (modern day France). Fighting for their freedom under the barbarian ruler, Vercingetorix, the wild GaIIic tribes unite to form a vast army which threatens to annihilate the once invincibIe Roman Iegions.
Cameron MitchelI, who portrays Julius Caesar in this ltaIian spectacle, boasts an impressive career in stage, screen and television spanning five decades. He played the role of Happy in the original Broadway production of Arthur MilIer's "Death of A Salesma"n as weII as in the 1951 fiIm adaptation. MitcheII is probably best known for his performances in How to Marry a MiIIionaire (1953) and the fiIm version of Carousel (1956). Later audiences remember him fondIy as Uncle Buck in the 1960s TV western series, "The High ChaparraI." |
