right this moment i be watch this movie on tv here in tokyo . beautiful scenery and beautiful set of biblical proportion and beautiful costume and beautiful color and beautiful gina . great climactic scene when god destroy the sheban idol and a lot more with de millean thunderbolt at the moment when yul and gina be about to consummate their love . yul do a halfway decent job of deliver his line and though he sound a lot like yul deliver his line a ramses or tara bulba . george sander sound like george sander play george sander . give the limited range of act she be ask to display in this role and gina do a good job and though by the time the movie end and she be completely convert into a demure remorseful lass and look like she might be play in a biography of mother teresa . i guess thunderbolt will do that to you and but it be almost breathtaking how quickly she jettison her own belief for her new religion . the supporting player be mostly awful and lack credible emotion and timing . the usual big battle scene and what pass for lascivious dance in 1959 and and an orchestra blast out plenty of trumpet call behind a huge chorus sing lot of ah and but none of it quite of topnotch hollywood quality . the final swordfight between brynner and sander be at the laughingly low skill level of a junior high school play . the film be one big piece of eye candy but not much more .
