 Spartacus Movie Review at Hollywood Video   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Spartacus the movie resulted from a different sort of Hollywood snub, we learn from the commentary on the fully reconstructed and restored Criterion edition.
Embarrassingly tame by today's standards, Spartacus originally featured a few graphic deaths, an arm-hacking, implied nudity, and a suggestive homoerotic scene — all of which were altered or cut by censors who felt 1960 audiences couldn't take it.
There is also an agape-like love that somehow grows, amid the Eros of the era, between Spartacus and Varinia (Jean Simmons), one of the female slaves forced to serve as concubines for the gladiators.
