DeleteThe Silver Chalice was one of my favorite books in junior high school, and I made sure to have it around once my kids were of an age. I was glad that it got a film adaptation. The same goes for Bernadette. What an inspiring book, and I loved the movie. It's good to see Vincent Price in a serious dramatic role. The 10 Commandments used to get a tv showing every year, and I imagine it still does :) I don't think I've seen the Fatima movie but will be on the look-out for it. Thx!
ReplyDeleteSilver Chalice is my favorite of the holy movies even if Paul Newman hated the movie. I never read the book. I read Werfel's Song of Bernadette and love the adaptation to the movie. I haven't seen the Fatima movie shown in over 50 years. Don't know why as it was a beautiful story.
DeleteGREAT PICS - seen them ALL! They are wonderful classics! My personal fav at Easter time has to be "Jesus of Nazareth" because the actor Robert Powell who portrays Jesus is THE BEST and his soulful eyes are perfect to imagine just what Christ may have actually looked like. My dad always said that as well. It also featured Olivia Hussey who was also in the 70's version of Romeo and Juliet who played Virgin Mary.
ReplyDeleteHave a great day!
I always liked Jeffrey Hunter as Christ in The Greatest Story Ever Told. Those blue eyes. Loved Olivia Hussey in the Zeffirelli Romeo and Juliet.
DeleteJeffrey Hunter? Wasn't he the first captain (Cpt. Christopher Pike) in the original Star Trek pilot? What a hottie he was! ;-)
DeleteThat's the one!
DeleteGreat movie choices!
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter
Glad you like them
DeleteThanks for sharing your movie choices.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
