Jesus Of Nazareth (2-Disc Set) (DVD)

Commencing prior to the Nativity and spanning through the Crucifixion and Resurrection, Jesus Of Nazareth vividly portrays the grandeur and dramatic saga of the life of Jesus (depicted by Robert Powell) as chronicled in the Gospels. A stellar ensemble cast that includes Michael York, Sir Laurence Olivier, James Earl Jones, Anne Bancroft, Olivia Hussey, Rod Steiger, and Anthony Quinn, imbues depth and humanity into the portrayals of the saints, sinners, and common individuals who followed the path of the Lord. The movie sets the stage and context for the infancy, early years, baptism, teachings, and numerous miracles of the Messiah, culminating in the glorious Resurrection. Helmed by Oscar(R) nominee Franco Zeffirelli and praised by reviewers and religious figures worldwide, Jesus Of Nazareth narrates the greatest of all narratives with profound sentiment and grandeur.
