I only remember a scene from this film. I saw it as a kid in the 1970s and it felt like it was a 1960s or 1970s comedy. It was set in Ancient Rome, the scene I'm thinking of was probably the end of the movie, and increasingly slapstick as the camera pulls away. The scene may have been sped up, like a Benny Hill skit, but not as fast. As part of the comedy, someone was running into a fat man and bouncing off his belly with a comical boing or bass drum boom sound. One of the actors might have been Roy Kinnear (the comedian, not his son Rory who has been in recent Bond movies) although I could have that confused with the episode of the Goodies where he is the Roman Emperor. I am child of the 1970s and this is a hole in my entertainment memory I would be grateful to have filled!
