Well I just finished watching Spartacus. Everyone involved in lugging all the heavy rocks necessary to finance and physically preserve this film should be commended. I understand a small gladiatorial army was involved. We who are about to be entertained salute you.
As for some of those "other"...
Wait a tic... Jean Simmons is in this? THE Jean Simmons? Rear Admiral Nora Satie from Star Trek: The Next Generation's prosecution episode, "The Drumhead"? I just might need take in this gladiator movie then.
This one had me in real suspense. Can you imagine the irony and agony of having to give a "fail" to your own restoration efforts being cluelessly transferred to Blu-ray for Spartacus? Oh, wait...
