Trivia: As a follow on to what the director did with the solar eclipse, the locals as extras viewed his actions as a sort of curse and were not at all happy.
Barrabas (1961)
Directed by: Richard Fleischer
Starring: Anthony Quinn, Arthur Kennedy, Katy Jurado, Silvana Mangano
Trivia: In the crucifixion scene, the director used the genuine solar eclipse that occurred at the time as it was thought to look good as a backdrop. No cgi required for once.
Barabbas: Darkness... I give myself up... into your keeping. It is... Barabbas.
