The King of Kings (1927)
Het grootste verhaal ooit verteld, omdat alleen Cecil B. DeMille het kon vertellen. In 1927 draaide DeMille, in 1927, samen met een van de grootste budgetten in de geschiedenis van Hollywood, het leven en de passie van Christus in een kaskraker uit het stille tijdperk. Met de tekst van de Bijbel, een cast van duizenden, en de enkelvoudige film tas van de Great Showman met trucs, is de King of Kings tegelijk spectaculair en diep eerbiedig - onderdeel van het evangelie.
