Based on the smash-hit Broadway musical, this colorful adaptation tells the story of a group of teenage actors who travel to Israel to reenact the Passion of Christ. The story is told through a lively and engaging series of song-and-dance numbers.
An innovative example of modern techniques in moviemaking, this famous rock opera depicts the last week of Christ's life. Norman Jewison (MOONSTRUCK; IN THE HEAT OF THE NIGHT) directed this thrilling adaptation of Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical, starring Ted Neeley as Jesus and Carl Anderson as Judas Iscariot. Among the classic songs in the film are "I Don't Know How to Love Him," "Hosanna," and "King Herod's Song (Try It and See)." The song score was nominated for an Academy Award.
Shot entirely on location in Israel.
Color by Technicolor; shot in the Todd-AO 35 widescreen process.

Ok film but I missed something There are sayings about this musicals that says something about Ian Gillan (Deep Purple) singing the main role (jesus) Is there anyone who knows anything about that? Submitted by ronny-johansen (Porsgrunn, Norway) Was This Review Helpful? YesNo
Almost Ok... I remember how excited I was when this movie came out. I also remember how disappointed I was with the singing as compared to the original 1970 studio recording. That's the one with Ian Gillian as Jesus. However, it's still a good movie, and would recommend it. Submitted by bigsound (Austin, TX, USA) Was This Review Helpful? YesNo
