Plot
A life of Jesus.
Sinekatalog’s take
Nicholas Ray's widescreen life of Jesus is reverent and visually grand. Jeffrey Hunter is gentle in the lead, and Miklós Rózsa's score and the Sermon on the Mount scene shine in a sincere Hollywood epic.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
