Directed by Pier Paolo Pas- olini, the picture was filmed in southern Italy with a cast composed mainly of Italian peasants and working people very much like the actual people among whom Jesus walked during His ministry on earth. The dialogue is in English, however. The part of Jesus is played by a young Spanish actor, Enrique Irazoqui. The picture exactly follows the story of Christ as it is told by Si.

Laurence Olivier appears as the Mahdi, the fanatical Arab leader who directed tiie siege. Other leading roles are played by Richard Johnson, Ralph Richardson, Alexander Knox, Michael llordern and Nigel Green. The picture, filmed on location along the banks of the tipper Nile, is replete with battle scenes.
