	Demetrius And The Gladiators
		The day before another big match, as is the tradition at most gladiator schools, a bunch of hookers are bussed in for the warriors to practice their groping with and among those is Lucia who is being snuck in so that she and Demetrius can have a little quality time together.
		Messalina finds out and has Demetrius taken away and Lucia is left with the other gladiators and the bully decides he is going to have his way with her.
		Demetrius turns out to be a shallow dolt who buckles as soon as something bad happens in his life and only returns to his faith once he sees that something bad really didn't happen.

		"Demetrius and the Gladiators", is often relegated to the shadows of its illustrious and far better known parent "The Robe",which was the first lavish effort in Cinemascope.
		When Demetrius comes to her aid he is arrested and sentenced to train as a gladiator in one of the Imperial schools run by Claudius.
		When Lucia attempts to visit Demetrius at the school prior to his debut in the arena she is molested by another gladiator Dardanius (Richard Egan)and suffers a crippling shock.

	DVD Verdict Review - Demetrius And The Gladiators
		Demetrius, the slave set free in the previous film, was the focus of the sequel and a tale of his banishment to the arena of the gladiators and subsequently faith lost and regained was fashioned.
		Demetrius is sent to find the robe and he eventually does, in the embrace of the young girl he had thought killed.
		Demetrius and the Gladiators actually begins with several scenes from the end of the The Robe, specifically the ones in which Jesus' robe is passed on with instructions to see that it gets to the big fisherman, Peter.

	Staff Review - Demetrius And The Gladiators - Aussie Phorums
		Demetrius And The Gladiators is the sequel to the 1953 movie The Robe and could be described as a movie of "epic proportions" with its realistic sets, fight sequences and costumes that are faithful to the era.
		Demetrius And The Gladiators has an aspect ratio of 2.55:1 widescreen and is 16:9 enhanced.
		Demetrius And The Gladiators is an enjoyable 1950's movie that has the look and feel of an old epic and is maybe one for the fans of this genre only.

	DVD Savant Review: Demetrius and the Gladiators
		Demetrius clings to his faith and refuses to fight other men in the arena, despite the attempts of Strabo (Ernest Borgnine) and Glydon (William Marshall) to train him.
		In one shot she coyly asks Demetrius if he loves women in the same way he does his Christian brothers, and it looks as if she's about to break out in hysterics.
		The word 'gladiators' is three times as big as the rest of the title, clearly to encourage confusion with a similar recent title Savant loves to skewer.

	DVD REVIEW - Demetrius and the Gladiators (R1 vs LD) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		he Picture: Demetrius was one of the first cinemascope pictures, and the relatively new attributes of the widescreen system had many aspects that needed some getting use to.
		But, as many theaters were not equipped with the expensive hardware Fox decided to continue with magnetic tracks alongside the frame putting the maximum aspect ratio at 2.35: 1.
		Demetrius is in 2.55 :1 and the Laserdisc is a perfect example how the film enthusiast was fooled with just the dimensions.

	DVD Review - Demetrius And The Gladiators (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		"Demetrius and the Gladiators," released in 1954, was the sequel to Fox’s box-office smash "The Robe," which came out one year earlier and ushered in widescreen movie going with the introduction of Cinemascope.
		Sentenced to gladiator training, Demetrius falls into the treacherous sights of Messalina (Susan Hayward), wife to Claudius, Caligula’s chief counsel, and patron of the gladiatorial school.
		"Demetrius" earns points for having Susan Hayward play the wayward Messalina; with her henna mane and sultry voice, any man would be nuts not to follow her to perdition.

		Not every stroke of the gladiator's blade hits the mark, but Demetrius and the Gladiators is an entertaining epic worthy of its wide screen lineage.
		Demetrius gets caught defending a fair lady in the robe hunt and is sentenced by a Roman tribunal to train for gladiatorial combat.

		As the other gladiators prepare to gang rape Lucia, Demetrius' prayers to God are unanswered and she dies.
		When Demetrius is in combat in the arena, Hayward's bosom heaves to the extent that she looks as if she's going to do a Harry Met Sally.

		Demetrius and the Gladiators is presented in English Dolby Digital 4.0.
		Demetrius and the Gladiators is presented in 2.55:1, and is 16:9 enhanced.
		In other words, while the original material is showing its age, for all that it's sad to see the old gladiators bowing down before the technical wizardry of the new gladiators, sword and sandal lovers will rejoice to be able to see it reasonably intact in wide screen.

	THE CINEMA LASER DVD REVIEW-- DEMETRIUS AND THE GLADIATORS
		Although DEMETRIUS AND THE GLADIATORS ($25) is the sequel to THE ROBE, the only reason I can see for this film to appear on DVD before its predecessor it to capitalize on the notoriety of 2000’s big hit GLADIATOR.
		After Demetrius tries to stop Roman soldiers from finding the robe, he is sentenced to fight in the arena as a gladiator as punishment.
		DEMETRIUS AND THE GLADIATORS is framed very close to the full early CinemaScope aspect ratio of 2.55:1 and the transfer is the very best I've seen in the home venue.

	Demetrius and the Gladiators - Music from the Movies
		Of the two films, Demetrius gets more airings today, for the simple reason that it is more fun than its somewhat over-pious predecessor.
		One of the highlights of Demetrius is Waxman's own theme for Messalina, the treacherous and scheming wife of Claudius (although her character had to be substantially cleaned up in order to meet the demands of the Production Code).
		Heard first in alto flutes, the theme has an exotic, mysterious quality, the appropriateness of which becomes apparent later in the film when Messalina reveals herself to be a votaress of the Egyptian 'Isis' cult.

		This enormously successful sequel to "The Robe" continues the story of Demetrius (Victor Mature), the Greek slave who, after the death of his master, is sentenced to train as a gladiator in the Roman arena.
		There, his newfound Christian faith is put to the test when he has to contend not only with the swordsmen and wild beasts of the arena, but also the evil and sensuous Messalina (Susan Hayward) and the mad emperor Caligula (Jay Robinson).
		Ignore this pathetic film and watch 'Spartacus', 'Barabas', or even the fantasized 'Gladiator' for some good Gladiatorial films.

		Avoid at all costs unless you're expecting to see it as a comedy.
		Demetrius and the Gladiators is an enjoyable film (see other reviewers for details) but the film quality on the DVD sucks!
		No effort was made to restore the film and it shows in it's very fuzzy quality.

	Demetrius and the Gladiators (1954) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		I heard that the actors had to hold back laughter during the first movie and it is a safe guess that the same happened with this follow up.
		The Robe lasted 135 minutes and Demetrius And The Gladiators lasted 101 minutes, both movies were filmed back to back, so I think this should of been a 236 minute epic which would of lasted about the same length of The Ten Commandments (1956).
		In the 1950s and 1960s it was NORMAL for epics to last an epic length and cutting an epic down to two movies makes each film seem less important.
