The Robe 1952

One of my Dad’s favourite films and because of that it is one of my mine too – Victor Mature was my Dad’s favourite actor.

I have not seen this photograph before. At first I thought it was possibly at the Premier of the film but of course it is not – Richard Burton looks still to be in costume and Jean Simmons looks uncomfortable for some reason.

At the time Richard Burton and Jean Simmons were not film stars on a truly international scale. Alright both of them had successful careers in England but is wasn’t until this film was released that step up came and they became well known. On the other hand, Victor Mature was already established on the World scale due a decade at the top and big money making films like ‘Samson and Delilah’ Earlier than that he was a superb Doc Holliday in John Ford’s ‘My Darling Clementine’

After The Robe he again hit the Box Office jackpot with ‘Demetrius and the Gladiators’ – a follow on from ‘The Robe’. Then came ‘The Egyptian’

Financially a very productive few years for Victor Mature.

I liked him – he was good
