KING OF KINGS Critics have an understanding among themselves that Biblical epics are made to enable them to exercise their vitriolic wit. “King of Kings” is no exception and the audience just as consistently has ignored the critic and littered their pockets with torn ticket stubs. The film you can judge for yourself, but there is one area we see fit to dwell upon here: Historical accuracy in decor, technology and costumes has been a fetish of the motion picture maker as well as the audience since the days of Vitagraph’s “Romeo and Juliet.” While not always necessary, a proper historic attitude towards female dress, for instance, can help establish character, set the moral tone of a given period in history, and establish the illusion of reality. While “King of Kings” contains certain inaccuracies, the women’s costumes in particular fulfill their function. 37
