1 corrected entry
Directed by: David Lean, George Stevens, Jean Negulesco
Starring: Max von Sydow, Charlton Heston, Carroll Baker, Dorothy McGuire, Ina Balin, Michael Anderson Jr.
Continuity mistake: When John baptizes Jesus, Jesus' hair is dripping water onto his shoulders as seen from the front. As seen from the back, there's no dripping at all.
The Centurion: Truly, this man was the son of God.
Trivia: This was the last film to be partially shot in Cinerama, a technique that was abandoned due to cost issues. On studio orders, director George Stevens had to re-shoot large portions of this movie in 70mm instead, causing delays that created huge cost overruns, and a two-year delay in releasing the film.
