The Great Comandment (1939)
Living in the time of Christ, a young religious scholar named Joel
(John Beal) leads an uprising against the Romans ... until his
aggressive instincts are curbed by the influence of Jesus of Nazareth.
This 1939 film from director Irving Pichel centers on Joel's
transformation from a revolutionary to a pacifist who, in true
Christ-like fashion, even learns to forgive the soldier who murdered
his brother.
