A Roman Scandal
Mary and her steady, Jack, have differing opinions on "the stage"-- Mary wishes to devote her life to the craft, while Jack strives to settle down and leave all that play-acting behind. When a traveling troupe that performs a Fall-of-Roman epic is ordered to strike, both Mary and Jack are called upon to participate in their stead.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film constructs its comedy from the clash between the lofty pathos of a historical epic and the mundane squabbles of a young couple. It relies on the classic 'play within a play' device, where the on-stage performance mirrors and exposes the characters' real-life tensions.
Those who tire of heavy dramas will find delight in the witty doubling of roles, where togas and laurel wreaths mask thoroughly modern ambitions and jealousy. What lingers after the curtain falls is a charming simplicity. — MovieFinder Editorial
