Since this is my very first post here and I don't understand all the rules. I don't know if I give away the plot can be considered a spoiler review when the film was made in 1955. If that is possible, then this is a spoiler review.
At first I was very pleased with everything about the movie. The acting was good. Every thing looked quite authentic, or at least how in my mind I thought they should look. But if the viewer is familiar with the Christian Bible, the longer you view the movie the worse it gets. The plot is no where near scripture. I know this movie lost money, and in my opinion this is the reason. If the film industry would like a biblical movie to make money, they should at least make an attempt to keep it somewhat near accurate. I could not under any an any way tell another Christian that this was a good movie for family viewing. The first 15 minutes or so is accurate, there is a little bit of accuracy in the middle but not much and the last 5 minutes or so is worth watching. The rest is a bust.
