Overview

John the Baptist is a rather frequent character in films. He was featured in almost every major film on Jesus of Nazareth, with only a few notable exceptions. And in numerous movies he was the innocent victim of the intrigues of Herod Antipas, Herodias and Salome. He also appeared in supporting roles in movies on Peter, Mary of Nazareth, and Mary Magdalene. Among the "minor" characters of the New Testament, he is the only one to whom not a single film has been dedicated. It is as if he could not escape his eternal destiny of being overshadowed by someone mightier than he.
