Men of Rome, men of Rome! Do not touch these people, they have become your brothers. They're Roman now. The whole Northern people will answer with fire and blood, their hatred will live for centuries. Men of Roman blood will pay for this. You will make nations to kill us all. Let us live in peace!Peace!

To finish off Mason week I watched The Fall of the Roman Empire. It stars not only Mason but also Christopher Plummer, Alec Guinness,Stephen Boyd and Sophia Loren. It was directed by Anothony Mann who is known most for his work with James Stwert In many Western films such the Man from Laramime, Winchester 73, The Naked Spur, Bend in the River to name a few.
It is my second favorite of the Mason movies I watched after North By Northwest. Dimitri Tiomkin's score is a really great as always and it adds a lot to the film. The  reconstruction of the Roman Forum holds the record for the largest outdoor film set  at 1312 x 754 feet.
