This is our third bonus episode and our fifth review of the season! We are covering one of Dad's childhood favorites: Cecil B. DeMille's notorious tale of forbidden love and Roman Empire decadence, The Sign of the Cross. With scandalous scenes such as the Dance of the Naked Moon and an over-the-top extravaganza in the Roman Colosseum (naked women! elephants trampling gladiators! lions mauling Christian traitors!), Sara and Dad discuss whether this movie is a hidden treasure or a guilty pleasure.
PLUS, our history timeline includes a perplexing moment where Albert Einstein is...a villain?
Books mentioned by Dad:
- Louvish, Simon. Cecil B. DeMille and the Golden Calf. Faber & Faber, 2007.
- Quirk, Lawrence. The Films of Fredric March. Citadel Press, 1971.
- Boller, Paul. Hollywood Anecdotes. William Morrow & Company, 1987.
