Directed by Richard Fleischer, based on the novel by Par Lagerkvist, Barabbas (1961) is an epic Biblical film. The story seeks to amplify and look at Barabbas, the criminal that the populace induced Pontius Pilate to set free so that Jesus Christ could be crucified. Barabbas' life's journey took him from Jerusalem to Rome, from slave labor in sulphur mines to Gladiatorial combat in the Colosseum, all the while he was haunted by the image of Christ. Sweeping sets, tense and insightful spiritual drama all combine to make an enjoyable and enlightening experience. The cast is wonderful, including Anthony Quinn as Barabbas and Jack Palance as a Roman Gladiator.
