Spartacus

★★★★ Great film. Epic in every sense of the word. The (not particulary subtle) homoerotic undercurrent between Laurence Olivier and Tony Curtis' characters in the 'My taste includes both snails and oysters' scene is immense. Really interesting history behind the film about drawing screenwriter Dalton Trumbo out of the depths of the blacklist during McCarthyism America for this film. Would recommend!
