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.
