Reader Reviews
I first saw this movie in 1966 at a theater in Fort Polk. At the time, the term socially correct did not exist. I saw the play twice since then. Usually when plays are adapted, there is a loss of spontaneity. In this case, they replace a few songs with some better one-liners and facial expressions that would have been lost at a distance. They added in the obligatory chase scene where everyone gets mixed up. The location is ancient Rome beautify recreated. This movie is one of those farces where several overlapping stories are made coherent by one main character Pseudolus (Zero Mostel). He plays a mischievous slave who would do just about anything for his freedom. Naturally the names reflect the character of the named. Pseudolus (Zero Mostel) is a slave that wants his freedom at any cost. Marcus Lycus (Phil Silvers) is in trouble for selling dud eunuchs and dud virgins. Erronius (Buster Keaton) lost is kids to pirates years ago and is looking for them. Hero (Michael Crawford) is in love with something called a virgin in the house of Lycus. (A place of dubious reputation). Hysterium (Jack Gilford) is winsome. Captain Miles Gloriosus (Leon Greene) is coming to claim his bride. Somewhere in all this is a gaggle of geese. If I were to describe all the great actors and plots this review would be pages long. So I will just say that this movie is "Something familiar, something peculiar, something for everyone: a comedy tonight!"
