A Jewish prince (Ramon Navarro) in Biblical times has tough time under the Romans.

Reviewed by Chris Tookey



A magnificent silent, worth seeing for the chariot-race alone (which is in colour) and the sea battle, both directed by B. Reeves Eason. Among the greatest achievements of the Silent era, although it does drag at times for a modern audience.
