Summary: Kirk Douglas is Spartacus

The definitive Kirk Douglas. No one else could have played the role more finer, or suited the role more clearer. Kirk Douglas built his reputation up in the 50's by portraying hard man roles with angst, and culminated all of that in this film where he would need angst to get him out of slavery. Tony Curtis renews his alliance with Douglas by playing a supporting role with Laurence Olivier. But without a question of a doubt, it is a Kirk Douglas film, and belongs in the Kirk Douglas canon.
