If you loved Bigger Than Life, try King of Kings
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Nicholas Ray, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Bigger Than Life, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What King of Kings is
Ben-Hur without chariots. The life of Jesus Christ is told from his birth through his ministry to his crucifixion and resurrection. Jeffrey Hunter's blue eyes add a certain something.
