About this product

Product Information

This epic chronicle of Christ begins with the arrangements of the wedding between Joseph and Mary, proceeds through Jesus' birth, his encounter with John the Baptist, and all the way to the grueling, transfigurative end. The all-star cast includes Anne Bancroft, Laurence Olivier, Michael York, James Mason, Rod Steiger, and Robert Powell as Jesus. As the beautiful locations, superb performances, and reverent portrayals reveal, Franco Zeffirelli (OTELLO, HAMLET) directed this six-hour-plus television miniseries with palpable passion.

  • Spectacular film, superior acting

    This was a great mini tv series in the 70s & one of the better films made about Christ. It leaves a few things out, but it is over 6 hours long, so I'm sure they had hard time keeping it manageable with so much material to work with. It is the Bible after all. RobertPowell is fantastic in the role of Jesus, which I'd imagine to be rather intimidating pull off. He did it. And JamesFarrentino as Peter, he was perfectly cast. Michael York as John the Baptist was sensational, & Christopher Pummer as HerodAntipas played it so well! The lovely Olivia Hussey as Mary. There as so many top rated stars can't name them all. It was an extraordinary endeavor and it hasn't been matched except maybe Mel Gibson's The Passion of the Christ. This film is as timeless as the story it tells because they did it with such care, not trying to cut corners, and got the best actors of the time, and pulled off the impossible. Believer or agnostic, you should watch this expertly directed, produced, filmed depiction of the 3 years of Christ's ministry plus His birth & early life. The scenery on location is unmatched, youwont regret buying this great, beautifully made 2 disc set.

  • A Good, but not Great Movie.

    I'd seen this production during its original 1977 showing, and it's still worth a watch. Robert Powell presents a far more somber Jesus than does Henry Ian Cusick in The Gospel of John, Cusick became my "gold standard" against which I now measure every actor who tackles this role. In "Nazareth", the time line of events is a bit skewed, though not in an insulting way. Characters are embellished, but also not in an insulting way (except for maybe Judas Iscariot). It contains all the tension between Jesus and the Jewish leadership, eventually leading to His Crucifixion. Over all I give this seven out of ten stars, and I don't regret buying this adaptation. The acting is good, so I blame its weaknesses on the producer and director. These actors have done the best the could with the script offered.

  • Superb and biblically accurate.

    By far the best and most biblically correct "Life of Jesus" movies ever produced. All star cast, excellent production quality. Even the sound track, volume and sound mix is superb. This 40 year old production was "Ahead of it's time" This six hour film is easy to digest 2 or 3 hours at a time... However once you're into it you'll might want to experience all six hours in one day! Glenn P DeRosa Boston, MA USA

  • Jesus of Nazareth DVD

    I have loved this mini series since I first saw it as a child! I remember watching it over a period of three nights on television and couldnt wait for each episode. There have been many versions of the story of Jesus' life and death on the cross but this is in my opinion the best one made. Robert Powell gives such a wonderful portrayal of Jesus that you will never forget. Although the movie was made in 1977 I highly recommend it to everyone to watch!

  • Jesus of Nazareth

    I believe that this is the best effort yet to tell the story of the life of Jesus. Robert Powell is excellent , and he portrays the human and divine aspects of Jesus as no other actor ever has. Production values are very high, and the film respectfully and beautifully tells the story of the earthly life of the Son of God

  • Best portrayal of the story of Jesus according to the Gospels.

    The best portrayal of Jesus on film. It covers his entire life and ministry, and is very well, if not perfectly cast with A-list actors: Sir Laurence Olivier, Olivia Hussey, Anne Bancroft, and the list goes on. Not a poor performance in the entire film. I bought this to watch during Holy Week and I was very, very impressed. I highly recommend it.

  • Very accurate with the King James Holy Bible

    This movie is the best and most accurate version of the Bible that I've ever seen. I used to watch it with my parents when I was a kid. I'm 46 years old now and I still love it. Now I watch it with my kids and my 3 year old grandson. Even he lives
