About the gay thing folks. I haven't seen anything in the reviews but innuendo. Swash buckling movies, dating back to the Errol Flynn era, have been adored by a certain cultish group of gay men. It was certainly that I was alluding to, though I'm sure the humorless fans of the film breast beating in this thread likely didn't get the joke.

Like I said, for you history re-enactors and O Brian fanatics, I'm sure this is a great way to spend a Saturday afternoon at the movies.

For more discriminating film goers, buyer beware.
