I believe the actor playing Christ never blinks on camera during the movie
Jeffrey Hunter died way too young.
Lockridge, That’s My King, short version (less than 4 mins): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z8ZF6FVcSdQ
A nice version set to rock music: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q6wL1IvMuWo
I haven’t seen that version, but I liked the 1927 version, starring Henry Warner as Jesus.
I’ve never really cared for the 1961 version of KING OF KINGS. Jeffrey Hunter, usually a passionate actor, sleepwalks in the role of Jesus. Robert Ryan is terrible as John the Baptist. And way too much time is spent on Pilate, Herod Antipas, and Barabbas and the Zealots. Christ is basically a guest star in the movie. And they never really explain the purpose of Christ’s life and suffering. Good things in the movie include a great music score by Miklos Rozsa.
