King of Kings (1961)




Easter holidays are always a treat on TV with a large quantity of Biblical epics on offer. As a kid I loved to watch them and I still do for nostalgic reasons. This one I have in fond memory, as I first saw it at the age of 8 or 9 in the States. It was Easter, and we were invited to a befriended German family. Their son was slightly younger than me and a rambunctious outdoors kind of boy. I actually managed to convince him (and his mom) that this was an important must-see movie, so he grudgingly had to watch it with me...

Yeah, it's the New Testament told in a comic strip manner, but the Salome part is still very cool - and devious!
