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 Gaul (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 spectacIe, boasts an impressive career in stage, screen and teIevision spanning five decades. He pIayed the roIe of Happy in the originaI Broadway production of Arthur MiIler's "Death of A SaIesma"n as well as in the 1951 film adaptation. MitchelI is probabIy best known for his performances in How to Marry a Millionaire (1953) and the film version of CarouseI (1956). Later audiences remember him fondIy as Uncle Buck in the 1960s TV western series, "The High Chaparral." |
