Jesus Film DeMille.gif

The King of Kings (1927) is a feature film (silent, B&W, 155m), directed by Cecil B. DeMille.

Mary Magdalene becomes angry when Judas, now a follower of Jesus, won't come to her feast. She goes to confront Jesus, but when she meets Him, she repents her wickedness and becomes His follower. Thereafter, the Gospel story unfolds through the Ministry, the Crucifixion and the Resurrection of Jesus, all witnessed by Jesus' devoted follower (and future evangelist), the boy Mark (Micky Moore). <BoyActors>

Regarded for decades as the finest telling of the story of Jesus on film, set expectations of how the movies would handle the Gospels: sex, sin, innocent children, and extreme reverence for Jesus. Remarkable for its time is the sensitive attention to avoid any element of anti-Semitism, by stressing explicitly how the responsibility for the death of Jesus lies on the High Priest alone and not on the entire Jewish people.
