Movie Reviews of The Prodigal

Movie Review: Five Stars of Crap!
Summary: 5 Stars

I haven't much to say about this movie, actually. What can be said of another swords-and-sandals Hollywood Biblical epic, starring the pagan goddess of Camp herself, Lana Turner? The $5,000,000 spent on it practically thrusts it's way out at you, along with the bosum of the plasticine Miss Turner. It is a passable fleshing-out (no pun, etc.)of Christ's parable, though that isn't, for me, it's primary appeal--I've read a bit of Biblical/historical/theological/philosophical exegesis(hope that doesn't sound too pretentious, but I majored in Lit. & Philosophy and I read alot), and besides, that's not what I want from a M-G-M Bible movie. It's alot of fun, so "do unto others" and recommend it to everyone you know who likes his/her Biblihistorical movies a little top-heavy.

Summary of The Prodigal

A young Hebrew named Micah, unsatisfied with his father's rural life, demands his inheritance so he can try his luck in the city. Once in the city he falls under the spell of a beautiful pagan priestess who induces him to squander his money and betray his faith. Only after many trials and tribulations does Micah recover his senses and return home to his forgiving father.
