The Robe is a 1953 American Biblical epic film that tells the story of a Roman military tribune who commands the unit that crucifies Jesus. The film was made by 20th Century Fox and is notable for being the first film released in the widescreen process CinemaScope. Like other early CinemaScope films, The Robe was shot with Henri Chrétien's original Hypergonar anamorphic lenses.
The picture was directed by Henry Koster and produced by Frank Ross. The screenplay was adapted by Gina Kaus, Albert Maltz, and Philip Dunne from the Lloyd C. Douglas novel of the same name. The music score was composed by Alfred Newman and the cinematography was by Leon Shamroy.
The first widescreen movie in more than two decades stars Richard Burton, Jean Simmons, Victor Mature and Michael Rennie, with Dean Jagger, Jay Robinson, Richard Boone, and Jeff Morrow. The Robe had one sequel, Demetrius and the Gladiators.
Lloyd Douglas has said that he wrote the novel The Robe to answer this question through fiction: What happened to the Roman soldier who won Jesus' robe through a dice game?
The story starts During and after the death of jesus christ.
In the Roman province of Judea during the 1st century, Roman tribune Marcellus Gallio is ordered to crucify Jesus of Nazareth but is tormented by his guilty conscience afterwards.

Richard Burton & Jean Simmons The Robe 1953, final scene A bit over the top ending... and brilliant.

You know you hit me
From the blind side, baby
I wasn't looking at all
I tried to dance
And do the rope-a-dope, baby
But I was destined to fall
Well that's the best fall I ever took
I can do without plenty of things, baby
Like lots of money
And the problems that it brings
[CHORUS:]
But your love is not an optional thing
It's not a February fling, no
It's not good for man to be alone
And your love is not an optional thing
You got a figure
Like an hourglass, baby
You just look better with time
You got a mind
Like a steel trap, baby
You're quick to find the bottom line
Here's the best line I ever said
I do, I will, so help me God
[CHORUS]
I'm so glad
I'm so glad
Out love overcame
I'm your man
I'll protect you in the pouring rain
A typhoon, tornado, in a hurricane
No your love is not an optional thing
It's not a February fling, no
It's not good for man to be alone
And your love
