The King of Kings (1927) ***
19 August 2006
I found this silent classic to be very impressive for its day with its "big" look and grand special effects (like in the final massive earthquake and the resurrection scene). Cecil B. Demille took a few liberties and made a change or two from the actual scriptures, but overall there were a lot of faithful moments from the bible which he managed to include; which sometimes calls attention to elements from the scriptures he missed. This being my very first look at this, I watched it at a time where I wasn't really in quite the right mood for it, so I would guess it would play even stronger to me at the proper time. *** out of ****
