ESTHER AND THE KING (Released to Theaters USA 1960)

 

Ben Meyers’ Rating: 3.6|5.0 Starsììì 

Esther and the King—exaggerated, stilted acting is not the best film for a biblical film. It has a long way to go to make it to a high quality watch and mostly to tell the unembellished story. The presentation is slow. The movie is disorganized and difficult to follow.

Buy a ticket? Yes? No? Maybe?

Maybe. It tells a story of Esther but does not follow the Book of Esther.
