Disappointing Androcles
By a customer , 15 Dec 2011[Highly rated reviewer]
I remember seeing this as a child and finding it funny. Some 60+ years later I cannot imagine why! I think I must have ordered it in a fit of nostalgia.
It was incredibly dated and I feel that George Bernard Shaw would be spinning in his grave at what the American script writers did to his play.
Jean Simmons, as ever, was lovely but Alan Young as Androcles failed miserably, his baby talk to the Lion was cringe making and (in my opinion) rather no hymn singing than ancient Roman Christians singing 'Onward Christian Soldiers' written some hundreds of years after the event.
As for humour Robert Newton was deliciously over the top.and Ceasar wasn't bad.
I would not recommend this film to anyone else- Was this review helpful to you?
