The King of Kings
The King of Kings • 2h 37m
Directed by Cecil B. DeMille • 1927 • United States
Starring H. B. Warner, Dorothy Cumming, Jacqueline Logan
THE KING OF KINGS is the Greatest Story Ever Told as only Cecil B. DeMille could tell it. In 1927, working with one of the biggest budgets in Hollywood history, DeMille spun the life and Passion of Christ into a silent-era blockbuster. Featuring text drawn directly from the Bible, a cast of thousands, and the great showman’s singular cinematic bag of tricks, THE KING OF KINGS is at once spectacular and deeply reverent, part Gospel, part Technicolor epic.
