Interesting facts

  • Based on: Fabiola

Fabiola is a 1949 Italian language motion picture historical drama directed by Alessandro Blasetti, very loosely based on the 1854 novel Fabiola by Nicholas Patrick Wiseman. The film stars Michèle Morgan, Henri Vidal and Michel Simon. It tells the story of the Roman Empire in which Christianity is growing around the 4th century AD. An unofficial remake, The Revolt of the Slaves, was released in 1960, with Lang Jeffries and Rhonda Fleming, only with Rhual's name changed to Vibio.
