>> Cecil B. DeMille invited a host of religious representatives — Catholics and Protestants along with Jews, Muslims, Buddhists and Christian Scientists — to offer blessings on the first day of filming "King of Kings," his epic on the life of Christ. And what did DeMille do after receiving the consecration? He opened "King of Kings" with an orgy scene that set up a love triangle among Jesus, Judas and Mary Magdalene. The man knew you needed more than just salvation to sell tickets. You needed a little sin too. <<

Hmmm. Well, Cecil B. DeMille died in 1959, whereas King of Kings was made in 1961 and directed by Nicholas Ray. So I seriously doubt Cecil B. DeMille did any of the things attributed to him in this article.

‘King of Kings’ was released in 1927 and starred H.B. Warner as Christ. It was directed by Cecil B. DeMille.
