THE WOMEN THE COSTUMES 4 /sJ £1'.' A I yj w f ag . Ij •• • . I&Awt M. MARY, MOTHER OF JESUS A red tunic of loose homespun linen worn over a mustard-colored inner tunic of a finer but still rough linen is Mary’s costume. This simplicity of dress, devoid of luxury, quickly defines a Jewess devoted to her God and family. Siobhan McKenna, while she does not score an acting triumph, fills the part with the same sense of dignity and devotion inherent in her costumes. For accuracy’s sake, true to a time when all women’s heads, except harlots’, were covered, Siobhan’s is consistently covered. CLAUDIA In the case of the daughter of Tiberius, Emperor of Rome, her station in life is unexcelled, and her pearl-studded, toweringcoiffures establish position, the luxury connected with it, and the republican good taste still evident in the early Empire. Viveca Lindfors’ physical presence seems as natural to the epic film as the fine silk pallas and brocaded stolas are to her aristocratic beauty. In keeping with her role as wife of the Roman governor, Pontius Pilate, she was given the largest and most tasteful collections of jewelry, and in keeping with her role as daughter of the Emperor, she always seems to be something more than the other characters who inhabit her society on the screen.
