"King of Kings" is an elaborate and reverent attempt to use the motion picture as a means of telling the greatest story in the world.
The tilm drama opens with the brilliant scene in the house of Mary of Magdala, and here the elaboration of luxury is used to mark the contrast with the Magdalene's shame and repentence when she finds herself face to face with Christ. She has gone to Him to win back her lover, Judas the betrayer. She remains to become the most faithful and devoted of His followers.
The character of Judas is developed with subtlety and skill. He sees in the Alan of Nazareth a national leader who may drive out the Romans and restore a free Judea to a place among the nations. He is impatient of the all embracing pity and the care for the poor. He gradually realizes the disappointment of his hopes and that his Master dreams of a Kingdom of which he has no conception, and it is in a fury of resentment that he plays the traitor's part in the Garden of Gethsemane, as it is in a fury of remorse that he throws down the thirty pieces of silver before the High Priest and goes out and hangs himself.
The miracles, the gentle care for children and for the lowly are shown in picture after picture. There is dramatic force in the driving of the moneychangers from the Temple where Our Lord appears as a strong man filled with righteous resentment. And so the drama reaches its climax in Gethsemane, in the meeting place of the Sanhedrin, in the hall of Pilate's palace and finally, on Mount Calvary.
Immense pains have been taken to make each character vivid and individual. Thus Peter, destined to be the leader of his brethren after his Master's death, is shown as a gigantic, impulsive fisherman, tender of heart but infirm.
