What is The Greatest Story Ever Told about?

THE GREATEST STORY EVER TOLD, 1965, MGM Repertory, 193 min. Director George Stevens took the biggest risk of his career with this epic account of the life of Jesus, a film that contains some of Stevens' most spectacular images (it was originally photographed in 70mm) and sequences. Max Von Sydow plays Jesus, and gets support from an astonishing all-star cast that includes Claude Rains, Charlton Heston, Sidney Poitier, and many others--including, in a particularly odd bit of casting, John Wayne as a Roman centurion!
