Description
An overview of all of the Hollywood biblical epics from the silent era right up to Mel Gibson's latest effort. Informative without being overly serious, the narration is thankfully tongue in cheek at times. It's hard to take some of these films too seriously - so many of them fall into the "so bad they're enjoyable" category. There are plenty of clips - the most fascinating involving those forgotten (and sometimes lost) silent films of the pre-Hays era when audiences got proportionately more sin than salvation. But the bulk of the time is spent, and rightly so, on those magnificent blockbusters of the 1950's when Cecil B DeMille was kin
