The Greatest Story Ever Told

What story could be greater than His Story? The story of Christ is told in this epic film, starring Max von Sydow as Christ, Charlton Heston as John the Baptist, Telly Savalas (aka Kojak) as Pontius Pilate, David McCallum as Judas Iscariot, Donald Pleasance as Satan, and a brief appearance by John Wayne as a Roman centurion at the end of the film.
Here are some screen shots from the film:
