THE GREATEST STORY EVER TOLD P4 of 4
Every frame of THE GREATEST STORY EVER TOLD is a painting. It is without question one of the most beautiful movies ever made. These are frame enlargements that were used to promote the DVD a number of years ago. Consequently, the color is a off – a tad too much red while on the blue-ray the color is perfect – but it is the best that I could find on the web. Nevertheless, the framing still stands and, although the color is not what should be, you should be able to get a sense of the films incredible visuals. Now, just imagine these on Super Cinerama screen wrapped around you and you will have an idea of what I experienced on that Saturday and Sunday in December 1965.

I agree commpletely. I am presently writing a book on the making of the film.
George Stevens’ THE GREATEST STORY EVER TOLD is one of his finest films.
