The Prodigal (1955)
5/10
Synopsis
14 September 2008
Warning: Spoilers
Some horny Jewish guy sees the visiting high priestess of a competing (evil) religion. He's so hot for her that he ditches the sweet deal he has with his family at home and stalks her to Damascus. He buys a big house and acts like the priestess is the only blonde money can buy in that town. His arrogance gets under the skin of the local bigwigs, who eventually get fed up and decide to take him down a few pegs. He takes out his frustration over being taken advantage of and generally acting like a chump by leading a revolt which destroys the society of Damascus and results in anarchy. He goes along as his pals stone the priestess to death, even though she wasn't really a bad person and didn't do anything really wrong except to faithfully practice her (evil) religion. Then he goes home with his tail between is legs, where much is made of him.
