321. The Passover Plot

321. (23 Dec) The Passover Plot (1976, Michael Campus) 19



There's more than enough intrigue in the idea that Christ and his disciples faked his death on the cross. However, I've seen so many versions of Christ's life that I can decisively call this one of the most tedious, even if its concept sets it apart. Watching riled-up, bearded men in robes bellow and recite passages from the gospel has rarely translated worse on-screen. The Oscar nomination for Costume Design is a joke; these could be from a bad summer stock production of Jesus Christ Superstar. Alex North's score is much too good for this.
