Richmond Hill's rating of the film The Greatest Story Ever Told
Richmond Hill

... if not the longest... Often these faux monuments to reverential good taste had the unwitting sense for a dollop of camp or scenery chewing, but this one even lacks that particular garnish and instead plods statesman-like through the Testament. Tastefully dull and a drearily worthy bookend to Ray's King of Kings.
