Title: Overblown Epic, racy (for its times...), but still nice...
Product review: A true vehicle for Lana Turner and her curves...Edmund Purdom alas doesn't shine as nicely in this one, as he did in "The Egyptian". He seems annoyed and bored, and his acting is woody to say the least.But all in all, it is a Tale of Tales of the New Testament and as such it should be appreciated.In those days Religion was still a major factor in Society...But when we talk about Hollywood splendor then, well, there it is, in all its kitch and pompous color.Wonderful musical score, excellent theatrical actors, a story that still holds your attention.The transfer on DVD is decent, not special but decent. You get the Hollywood treat, although I am a bit disappointed with the sound in Dolby "conventional" Surround, not in 5.1...Needs a special edition with remastered sound and picture, but for the price it is truly a treat.
