A very easy portrait of episodes of Nero reign. The names of actors are the basic motif to see it. But the acting is very nice, seductive , the irony is well crafted and Alberto Sordi as immature emperor is just admirable.
A comedy without high ambitions, giving not exactly revelation but good open window to the parody of Italian sandals and sand films , for a beautiful self irony of Gloria Swanson and for the young Brigitte Bardot proposing a lovely Poppea. And, not the last Vittorio De Sica as a Seneca proposing the joy of acting.
In short, a charming film for the dose of irony, for remind of cliches about Nero and for the sparkles about Nero proposed, in Quo Vadis, by Sienkievicz and ...Peter Ustinov.
