This essay examines historical fiction as seen in the famous Hollywood movie Spartacus. The successes and failures of the film in accurately portraying Roman history and the struggle between Spartacus and the Roman Republic are analyzed.

"The famous and award-winning film Spartacus was produced by Universal Pictures in 1960 and based on a popular historical novel of the same name by Howard Fast At over one-hundred seventy five minutes, it is a lengthy bit compelling viewing experience. The main characters are played by legendary Hollywood stars Kirk Douglas and Laurence Olivier, although a host of other renowned talents such as Charles Laughton and Tony Curtis also appear."More papers on Historical Fiction in Film: Spartacus:

Dec 15, 2001 Thank you for looking at my essay. I am from the "old school." I wrote my first term papers and essays back in the 1970s: the days of typewriters, carbon paper, all-night library sessions on No-Doz, and note cards. It was harder than you might imagine, but as a result I learned how to write with focus, excellent grammar and vocabulary, and a clear style. Those are the qualities you will find in all my work here, which are new and written as part of my recent graduate studies. They are certain to help you with your assigned essay or term paper. All are top quality "A" papers and show the kind of creativity and original analysis that university instructors look for.
