Why people love it

People revisit The Robe for the same reason it broke through in 1953: clear stakes, memorable faces, and a history rhythm that doesn't stall in the middle. Henry Koster keeps the ensemble pointed in one direction. The drama and history blend is the engine: it lets the film shift registers without feeling like two different movies stitched together.
