About this product

Product Information

George Stevens presents his monumental adaptation of the story of Jesus Christ starring Max von Sydow. The film concentrates on the most familiar episodes of the biblical story, including the birth of Christ in Bethlehem, Herod's (Jose Ferrer) decree of the execution of all male children in Judea, and the Holy family's escape into Egypt. It continues as Christ encounters John the Baptist (Charlton Heston) searches for the Twelve Apostles, and raises Lazarus (Michael Tolan), while John the Baptist is executed. It concludes with Jesus' expulsion of the moneylenders from the temple, the instruction of the Apostles at the Last Supper, Christ's betrayal by Judas (David McCallum), the Passion, the Crucifixion, and the Resurrection. The product of years of research and planning by Stevens, the film features a huge cast of stars, among whom Von Sydow, McCallum, Dorothy McGuire (Mary), Sidney Poitier (Simon of Cyrene), Claude Rains (Herod the Great), Donald Pleasence (The Devil), Martin Landau (Caiaphas), and Janet Margolin (Mary of Bethany), give fine performances.

Bible Wanna Be
This is a great story for people who aren't really into Christianity or the Bible. Hollywood took the Bible, almost read the 4 gospels, rewrote it into one story and edited and added as they thought it would work best for the screenplay, and found many superstars for a cast, some very unfit for their parts, but still entertaining. The additions are the devil (Donald Pleasence) who shows up repeatedly throughout the movie. (I had to laugh out loud when John Wayne's silhouette and voice came in at the foot of the cross, I'm sorry, that didn't work.) Also, Max von Sydow totally misses the spirit of Jesus, being far too bitter, unsympathetic, and serious. Nobody would have followed him. Well, the movie is still worth watching, if only to see all the great cast and scenery, which Hollywood can do $o well.

Great movie, highly recommend it to any and everyone!
Great movie & love that it keeps pretty close with the bible. I had seen it many years ago and did not even realize that Max Von Sidow played the part of Jesus, he did an excellent job.

An OK movie but not the greatest.
It was mostly accurate. One exception was the scene with Jesus and Mary Magdalene. Nowhere in the Bible is Mary Magdalene called a prostitute, but in the movie she is called a prostitute.
