Perhaps, the most visually beautiful motion picture, ever made. While often ponderous in narrative, "The Greatest Story Ever Told", is a most reverent telling of the Christ tale. The current DVD release suffers from edits to the original running time (Angela Lansbury ends up being an extra, seen in longshot); but clearly represents the amazing visuals, and boasts an impressive stereo soundtrack. Director George Stevens structures each scene as a visual masterpiece. For this reason alone the film, on DVD, is highly recommended.
