fetiche movie for me In 1964, at the age of 23, when " The Fall of the Roman Empire " was released, I was working in Toronto, living all by myself, with nothing much to do but going to the movies 5 evenings out of seven. On one of these blessed evenings, after a super-pastrami and fries at my favorite deli, I went to the movies, sat, and was totally swept off my feet by this fantastic epic production. I sat there, absolutely transfixed, and came back six evenings in a row, never getting tired of witnessing this brilliant outburst of acting. Holy Everything! And, still today, when I re-re-re-watch for the upteenth time what became MY personal fetiche movie, I still feel like Bobby Darrin, totally under the spell of that " black magic " of a cinema splendor. And I do hope they never try to think of a remake!It just would be some sort of sacrilege, and never, never could achieve what Samuel Bronson, Anthony Mann, Dimitri Tiomkin (musical score), James Mason, " bella " Sophia Loren, fabulous Stephen Boyd and Alec Guinness and Christopher Plummer " et all " have achieved. Long live " The Fall of the Roman Empire ".
