Biblical Classics Collection

Efficient and prompt service: item received in excellent condition. Each movie in the set was on its on CD.

In our melting economy, Fox has gone with the sure thing, 4 of their biggest and sometimes best biblical epics from the 50's and 60's. The strongest of the collection are of course the oldest: The Robe and it's sequel, Demetrius and the Gladiators Starring Jean Simmons and Susan Hayward respectively. The sets and acting are sumptuous. As for "The Bible", This was one of the better attempts to revive the biblical epic in the 60's dealing with the creating of man to Abraham. It is very well done in all aspects. Director John Huston's performance as Noah, is delightfully light and refreshing. This is the highlight of this movie. "The Greatest Story Ever Told" fails on several counts. The Judean province is actually Monument Valley in Southern Utah and the sets are big too surrealistic. Max Von Sydow is overshadowed by a cast of well known actors that pop their head up in this movie from out of nowhere. And it gets annoying at times. It could have been a better film."The Robe" and utilizing many of the same sets, "Demetrius and the Gladiators" have become classics due to their durability. At times the acting is over the top (Jay Robinson) and wooden (the ever-stoic Victor Mature) and the ladies fare the best. Jean Simmons is wasted as a mere love interest to Richard Burton. Her talent is not worthy of such a limited role. But the grand Simmons makes the most of it. Ms. Hayward plays a watered down Messalina with great relish. She is a delight visually and in every other department, to watch. She is a Hollywood Icon.Sure all these DVDs have already been released and are available. But if you don't own them, why pay more and get the box set?It's worth it.

Got this for 2 of my favorites The Robe and Demetrius & the Gladiators. Ever since cable tv came about certain cable stations have monopolized these classics. I just can't afford cable packages so found this hardly used version that was in near mint condition.

These movies are great classics for any time specially Easter and Christmas . I saved money buying a bundle rather than separate even if there’s one of those movies that I’m not crazy about it’s still cheaper to buy the bundle .

old great movies like this should be alot more, so being able to buy them together so easy for the buyer is even better.

It is a great set

I have owned a copy of, The greatest story ever told. And recently bought one off Amazon for my friend as a gift. Very happy with the product.

This dvd is full of wonderfull movies that will entertain and educate relligions family.
