The film, truly, must be seen to be believed, with stunt-work so amazing it’s shocking that there were no serious injuries during production (an exciting mountain trail chariot race is a particular highlight). Lucilla’s lover, Livius ( Ben-Hur’s Stephen Boyd), is groomed to be the next emperor however, her brother, Commodus, covets the throne for himself.

Sophia plays Lucilla, daughter of, arguably, the last great Roman emperor, Marcus Aurelius. The film, itself, is an awe-inspiring interpretation of what led to Rome’s eventual downfall.

The movie’s Roman set still holds the record as the biggest outdoor set ever built for one film. All of the buildings were built in 3-dimensions with historically accurate interiors as well as exteriors (which is almost unheard of). There are, absolutely, no matte paintings, no miniatures, and no trick photography to be seen here. But, if you see the movie, it’s all worth it. This film is infamous for being one of the most expensive films of all time, virtually bankrupting Bronston’s production studio over the course of filming. The Fall of the Roman Empire pairs Sophia once again with producer Samuel Bronston, as well as, El Cid director Anthony Mann. Keep in mind, this film is extremely long and can get a little slow in spots however, if you’re a fan of epic battle sequences and great romances, be sure to check this one out. El Cid was extremely successful when it was first released and even became one of President Kennedy’s personal favorites. Bronston even brought in the Spanish armed forces and mounted policemen to fill in as soldiers. The battle and crowd scenes in this film are nothing short of amazing. As Ximena, Sophia shows great strength as a woman trying to fight against her lover’s destiny, but ultimately helpless to stop it. Ximena and Rodrigo share a tumultuous affair, echoed off-screen by Sophia and Heston’s real-life animosity towards one another.
Sophia plays the proud and elegant Ximena, Rodrigo’s bride-to-be. But, his journey does not come without sacrifices. From this moment on, Rodrigo is set on the path that will lead him to become the greatest hero in Spain. The prisoners bestow the name on him in gratitude, explaining that it is a word for “a warrior with the vision to be just and the courage to be merciful”.

Rodrigo earns his famous nickname when he chooses to free some Moor prisoners rather than execute them as the law commands. It tells the story of one of Spain’s greatest historical figures, the titular, ‘El Cid’, otherwise known as Rodrigo Diaz de Vivar (played by Heston). Made in Spain by producer Samuel Bronston (the producer of the epic King of Kings), it pairs Sophia opposite the king of the epics, Charlton Heston. A breezy and entertaining film, Arabesque will keep you guessing until the very end.Įl Cid is an epic in every sense of the word. Good luck figuring out how some of these shots were done. Cinematography buffs are, also, sure to be fascinated by the film’s constant use of mirrors. The plot of this film moves so fast, you might have difficulty keeping up, but the real draw is the chemistry between Sophia and Peck who are completely charming in their scenes together. While undercover, David meets the beautiful Yasmin who always seems to know more than she’s letting on. However, decoding the message means going undercover to prevent others from reading the message first. Peck plays the role of David Pollack, a man charged by an Arabian diplomat to decrypt a strange hieroglyphic message. Arabesque is a smart and stylish ‘60’s spy caper starring Sophia opposite Gregory Peck. When an American pictures Sophia Loren, it’s most likely in the form of the glamorous and mysterious Yasmin. This is the film that, arguably, crystallizes Sophia Loren's American film persona.
