Anthony Quinn stars in this epic Bible story of Barabbas, the prisoner set free in the place of Christ who returns to a life of thievery. Only late in his life, when Barabbas himself faces crucifixion, does he finally discover his faith.
Made with an intelligent script, and a dazzling production design with many beautiful scenes shot like tableaux in a style reminiscent of the great masters of art. Capped with a riveting duel in the amphitheatre between Quinn and co-star Jack Palance.
