Review: Glorious epic - This 55th anniversary restoration is streets ahead of the earlier Blu Ray. From the opening credits on the images are far superior is colour and quality. My only quibble is that they used 35mm negatives and not the 70mm the film was shot in (even the restoration expert gets this wrong saying it was shot in 35mm Technirama. He should have watched the credits closer. Super Technirama 70) so it is not quite up to the superb Blu Ray restoration of King of Kings which was able to use 70mm sources. 70mm is a bigger frame than 35 and gives a clearer image. But if you've not seen this movie before, other than those terrible scan and pan versions they used to show on TV you don't know what you've been missing! A wonderful human story of the search for freedom wrapped in the glorious clothing of a Roman epic, one that only mentions religion in passing. Superb performances, especially from Charles Laughton, Peter Ustinov, and Laurence Olivier, a literate and intelligent script, and great battle scenes. Review: A Must-have Re-issue. - This is a classic film given a new leases of life in this 2015 restoration into high definition. Picture quality is excellent. The film has a wonderful screenplay by Dalton Trumbo who had just emerged from years of being black-listed by the McCarthy witch-hunt crew. The excellent script attracted top class actors such as Charles Laughton, Laurence Olivier, Peter Ustinov and Jean Simmons all of whom relish their parts. Directed by the brilliant Stanley Kubrick the end result is outstanding. An especially interesting extra feature is an interview with the star Kirk Douglas who is 99 years old. He gives a very interesting take on the making of the film of which he was executive producer. Of course, he can't resist ending the interview with the wholly appropriate quote: "I am Spartacus!". ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Contributor | Jean Simmons, Kirk Douglas, Laurence Olivier, Peter Ustinov, Stanley Kubrick, Tony Curtis | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 177 Reviews | | Format | Blu-ray, PAL | | Language | English | | Manufacturer | Universal Pictures UK | | Number of discs | 1 | | Runtime | 3 hours and 16 minutes | ## Product Details - **Format:** Blu-ray, PAL - **Contributor:** Jean Simmons, Kirk Douglas, Laurence Olivier, Peter Ustinov, Stanley Kubrick, Tony Curtis - **Language:** English - **Runtime:** 3 hours and 16 minutes - **Colour:** Colour ## Images ![Spartacus (Blu-ray) [1960] - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/911IUz5mAfL.jpg) ![Spartacus (Blu-ray) [1960] - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91gILlthqEL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Glorious epic *by M***E on 23 January 2017* This 55th anniversary restoration is streets ahead of the earlier Blu Ray.

Most of the picture enhacements in this very latest blu ray upgraded movie are good. But again when there are close up scenes with Jean Simons the picture becomes a little blurred like it was on the previous blu ray release. Just a minor flaw really but I am still glad I purchased it as I love the movie so much. ## Frequently Bought Together - Spartacus (Blu-ray) [1960] - Ben-Hur [3 Disk Edition] [Blu-ray] [1959] [Region Free] - The Ten Commandments [Blu-ray] [1956] [Region Free] --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.in/products/49238160-spartacus-blu-ray-1960](https://www.desertcart.in/products/49238160-spartacus-blu-ray-1960) --- *Product available on Desertcart India* *Store origin: IN* *Last updated: 2026-05-06*
