There was a movie made in the 1970's entitled JESUS OF NAZARETH.

It was a 1977 British-Italian television miniseries co-written (with Anthony Burgess and Suso Cecchi d'Amico) and directed by Franco Zeffirelli which dramatizes the birth, life, ministry, crucifixion, and resurrection of Jesus largely according the Christian Bible's New Testament Gospels.

It stars Robert Powell as Jesus. The miniseries features an all star cast of famous American and European actors, including seven Oscar winners (Christopher Plummer, Anne Bancroft, Rod Steiger, Lawrence Olivier, Earnest Borgnine, Peter Ustinov and Anthony Quinn).

I love that mini series. The music and acting is excellent. I have it on DVD and watch it every Easter.

I’ve owned it twice in VHS. Still watch bits of it on Youtube from time-to-time. One of the best of that genre.

The Jesus has blue eyes on that poster which of course is most likely historically inaccurate seeing as how Jesus was Hebrew / Palestinian.
