Hardened Roman Marcellus Gallio (Richard Burton) oversees the crucifixion of Jesus Christ in Jerusalem. But problems arise when Marcellus wins Christ’s robe in a dice game, played beneath the dying man. Haunted by guilt, Marcellus hopes that destroying the garment — now in the possession of his escaped slave (Victor Mature) — will cure his hallucinations. The film won Oscars for Best Costume Design, Best Art Direction and Best Set Decoration.  Co-Starring Jean Simmons
