This glorious epic is an inspiring, grand-scale recreation of the life of Jesus of Nazareth. Lavishly produced at a cost of $20 million – an enormous amount for the time – and honored with five 1965 Academy Award nominations (Cinematography – Color, Original Score, Art Direction – Color, Costume Design – Color, Special Visual Effects), this exceptional motion picture boasts an all-star cast – including Max von Sydow, John Wayne, Charlton Heston, Sidney Poitier, Sal Mineo and Shelley Winters.
