About this product

Product Information

In the 50s, Hollywood developed a penchant for biblical tales, including King of Kings, The Ten Commandments and Quo Vadis. Henry King's somewhat forgotten film deserves to rank alongside them, with Gregory Peck as King David and Susan Hayward as the beautiful Bathsheba, for whose adulterous love David risks his throne, country and even the wrath of God. Told in occasional flashback, the film sees him conquer Goliath (Walter Talun) and lead his armies to victory before the prophet Nathan (Raymond Massey) brings the word of Jehovah and His judgement, which sees David atone for his sins. Stunningly shot with thrilling battle scenes balanced by intimate interplay between the two leads, this rightly ranks alongside the epics of the time.
