La tunica (1953)
Roma: età di Tiberio imperatore. Il giovane e nobile Marcello ritrova a un'asta di schiavi la bella Diana, innamorata di lui da quando erano bambini. Marcello acquista lo schiavo Demetrio soffiandolo a Caligola, futuro imperatore. La vendetta non si fa attendere, Marcello è inviato come tribuno in Palestina, cioè nella terra più irrequieta di tutto l'impero. È proprio il momento dei fatti di Pilato e Gesù. Questi è condannato a morire sulla croce e l'incarico della crocefissione viene affidato proprio a Marcello che, bagnatosi col sangue del Cristo, non regge al rimorso e quasi impazzisce. Torna a Roma ricevuto da Tiberio, che dopo aver ascoltato il racconto del tribuno lo rimanda sul luogo a cercare la tunica di questo strano predicatore. Intanto Diana è stata promessa a Caligola, ma ama più che mai Marcello.....
