Die grausame Schöne - Messalina (1951)

DramaHistorie

Messalina, die schöne aber auch grausame Gattin des römischen Kaisers Claudius, will den schwächlichen Imperator entmachten. Ihr Geliebter, Senator Caius Silvius soll den Thron besteigen. Um dieses Ziel zu erreichen fingiert die listige Herrscherin einen Orakelspruch, der das nahe Ende ihres Gatten vorhersagt. Ihrem abergläubischen Mann schlägt sie daraufhin vor eine Scheinehe mit Caius Silvius einzugehen, damit diesen statt Claudius die Todesprophezeiung treffe. Zu spät bemerkt Messalina, dass auch sie nur das Opfer einer Intrige ist...
