Life & Passion of Jesus Christ (1905) King of Kings (1926)




Life and Passion of Christ‭ (‬1903-1905‭) ‬La Vie Et La Passion De Jesus-Christ,‭ ‬N.S.‭ ‬was begun in‭ ‬1902‭ ‬by Ferdinand Zecca‭ (‬1864-1947‭) ‬for Pathé Frères in Paris,‭ ‬then the most important film company in the world.‭ ‬Zecca made‭ ‬18‭ ‬carefully costumed and staged tableaux against painted back-drops which are clearly influenced by the famous Biblical woodcuts of Gustave Dore‭ (‬1866‭)‬.‭ ‬In‭ ‬1903,‭ ‬Pathé Frères developed a sophisticated system for applying up to four colors to each film print by a stencil process‭; ‬that year and in‭ ‬1904,‭ ‬ten new tableaux were added to the film.‭ ‬Finally,‭ ‬in‭ ‬1905,‭ ‬Zecca's collaborator,‭ ‬Lucien Nonguet,‭ ‬added three final scenes,‭ ‬and the resulting color film of‭ ‬31‭ ‬tableaux with a running time of‭ ‬44‭ ‬minutes became the most impressive of its kind and one of the first long films in the world.‭ ‬Presented by missionaries and itinerant showmen from Indiana to Indochina,‭ ‬it helped establish the popular iconography of the Divine story.‭

King of Kings‭ (‬1927‭) ‬Directed by Cecil B.‭ ‬DeMille‭ ‬...‭ ‬1hr52min‭ … ‬Most reverent and strikingly beautiful panorama of the tragedy of all ages--the world's greatest screen epic.‭ ‬A production acclaimed by world-famed scholars,‭ ‬press and public in this country and abroad,‭ ‬as the most ambitious presentation of the final years of the life of Jesus ever pictured on the screen.‭ ‬An epochal motion picture that will live forever in the hearts of mankind.

A public domain film in DVD/CD sleeve, photo label and 4x6 glossy photo as shown.

Guaranteed/replaced with same title. Some faded colors.

ALL DVDs I offer are no-region DVDs, play worldwide. I do NOT list or sell DVD-R media.

I personally remember seeing this on TV, probably when it first aired. Miss Inger Stevens was always a favorite as she co-starred with Clint Eastwood, Elvis Presley - but most importantly for me - she was in "The Farmer's Daughter" - a B/W TV show co-starring William Windom & Catheleen Nesbitt. Odd, I remember all those names. I also remember seeing Cathleen Nesbitt using that automated "lift" for her wheelchair.

Funny - how we remember things as we approach and/or pass the 1/2 century living mark.

DVDs are guaranteed/replaced with same title. Listings are profoundly honest & accurate on every level.

As my prices are so low - I try to ship ASAP - but please allow 5 business days 'til I ship as I sometimes get over-loaded.

Do please ask questions ... as I love to reminisce, which I suspect is the truest sign of getting a little bit older ...
