简介：把罗马焚城后，惨无人道的暴君尼禄（查尔斯·劳顿 Charles Laughton 饰）将矛头指向基督徒，开始大规模肆意捕杀基督徒。不仅如此，尼禄更颁布了法令把抓获的基督徒送往竞技场。罗马最高军事军官马库斯（弗雷德里克·马奇 Fredric March 饰）奉命残杀这些捕获的基督徒。被抓的基督徒中有两名老者准备逃跑，马库斯本欲逮捕他们，然而当马库斯看到他们的继女麦西卡（爱丽莎·兰迪 Elissa Landi 饰）时，情不自禁地一见倾心。楚楚动人的麦西卡，马库斯很快与她坠入爱河不能自拔，随之下令释放了所有基督徒。马库斯的这一举动，不仅激怒了暴君尼禄，更让一直暗恋他的皇后帕亚（克劳黛·考尔白 Claudette Colbert 饰）醋意大发，心生嫉妒。
简介：Loosely based on Kathryn Forbes' book -Mama's Bank Account-, this film actually contains richer detail and more intricate character- izations. In turn-of-the-century San Francisco, young Katrina Hansen chronicles episodes of life with her extended family, who combine traditional Norwegian values with modern American ways. So successful that it became a popular radio show, and then a TV sitcom, both with Barbara BelGeddes and Irene Dunne from the film.
