The Set-up
The life of Jesus Christ is given a faithful rendition by legendary filmmaker George Stevens, the man behind classics like Gunga Din, A Place in the Sun, Giant, and The Diary of Anne Frank.
The Delivery
This Biblical epic was widely criticized upon its release for being too long and using too many well known actors (like John Wayne), that turned the attention away from the story. Critics were correct about the use of big movie stars, but as time has passed their use is not as glaring.
