It surprises me that Robert Halmi hasn't gotten his hands on that particular property yet. I could see that on NBC or USA in about a year or 3.hobbyfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08089664500077967952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9149411832127844385.post-66709652030430262492009-04-12T22:11:00.000-04:002009-04-12T22:11:00.000-04:00Hobby: I could see another go with Barabbas (not n...Hobby: I could see another go with Barabbas (not necessarily adapting Lagerkvist) but I think DeMille had the last word (with several exclamation points) on Sign.<BR/><BR/>Rev. My attitude toward Bible films is that people should find them no more threatening than Hercules movies. BTW, Barabbas was on TCM this afternoon in case I happened to inspire anyone.Samuel Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00934870299522899944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9149411832127844385.post-73276801459546916742009-04-12T11:33:00.000-04:002009-04-12T11:33:00.000-04:00Being the heathen that I am, I do love me a good B...Being the heathen that I am, I do love me a good Bible epic.
