The Greatest Story Ever Told (1965)

The Greatest Story Ever Told is another very long, very thorough account of the life of Jesus.  Unlike King of Kings it doesn't try to spice things up with any unnecessary sub-plots.  As usual, I had to break it up into two sittings.  Jesus was once again completely devoid of personality.  It also contains a very scene-ruining cameo by John Wayne.  The movie does, however contain some beautiful shots of the American southwest.
