Up Pompeii

Movie (1971)

A funny thing happens to Lurcio (Frankie Howerd) on the way to the rent-a-vestal-virgin market stall. A mysterious scroll falls into his hands, listing the names of all the conspirators plotting to murder Emperor Nero. And when the upstart slave is elected to infiltrate the ringleader's den, the comical ups-and-downs lead to total uproar.

Movie Trivia/Goofs

→ View All

Movie Goof (miscellaneous): In the same 'News of The World' DVD, Actors Warwick Sims and Jonathan Dennis are credited in the main titles but omitted from the end titles.
Movie Goof (plot holes): Lurcio claims to Bilius that he didn't read the incriminating scroll because he never learned to read, but he has no problem reading the ode written by Nausius. There is no reason to believe he is lying to Bilius, because at no point does Lurcio ever appear to try to read the scroll. If he had read the scroll earlier, it would have changed the whole plot.
Movie Goof (factual errors): In the DVD version that came free with the 'News of the World' newspaper on Sunday 09 April 2006 (UK), Eileen Warwick's job description should be hairdresser. Instead it reads as Hairdersser.
