King of Kings [DVD]

A father tells his son the greatest story ever told, and what begins as a bedtime tale becomes a life-changing journey. Through vivid imagination, the boy walks alongside Jesus, witnessing His miracles, facing His trials, and understanding His ultimate sacrifice. The King of Kings invites us to rediscover the enduring power of hope, love, and redemption through the eyes of a child.

Flicker Alley and Blackhawk Films are honored to present, in it's domestic Blu-ray debut, Cecil B. DeMille's biblical epic The King of Kings, including both the silent 1927 Roadshow version and the 1928 sound cut. A production of unprecedented scale, The King of Kings followed DeMille's 1923 epic The Ten Commandments, employing cutting edge filmmaking techniques to bring the story of the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ to the screen. Boasting technicolor segments, sophisticated hand coloring process and synchronized sound effects, The King of Kings is an enduring cinematic marvel. This deluxe Blu-ray edition is made possible thanks to the dedicated restoration efforts of Blackhawk Films with the support of Cecilia DeMille Presley. The King of Kings roadshow version features a new orchestral score composed and conducted by Robert Israel based on the original 1928 Hugo Riesenfeld musical accompaniment.
