The King of Kings (Silent Film with Music) 1927

The King of Kings - Starring H.B. Warner, Dorothy Cumming, Ernest Torrence, Joseph Schildkraut, Julia Faye, James Neill and Charles Belcher; with a cast too many to mention here.

After driving the sin out of Mary Magdalene (Jacqueline Logan) and raising Lazarus (Kenneth Thomson) from the dead, Jesus (H.B. Warner) enters into Jerusalem, where Judas (Joseph Schildkraut) conspires to have him turned over to the authorities. After the Last Supper, Jesus goes to Gethsemane, where he is taken prisoner, and thereafter tried under Pontius Pilate (Victor Varconi) and crucified. He is buried and, as foretold in scripture, resurrected three days later.

The King of Kings is a 1927 American synchronized sound epic film produced and directed by Cecil B. DeMille and Written by Jeanie MacPherson. It depicts the last weeks of Jesus before his crucifixion and stars H. B. Warner in the lead role. While the film has no audible dialog, it was released with a synchronized musical score with sound effects using the RCA Photophone sound-on-film process.

Featuring the opening and resurrection scenes in two-color Technicolor, the film is the second in DeMille's Biblical trilogy, preceded by The Ten Commandments (1923) and followed by The Sign of the Cross (1932).
