Synopsis: The second Biblical epic to be turned into a musical by composer Andrew Lloyd Webber and lyricist Tim Rice, this box-office disappointment recounts the last week in the life of Jesus Christ in rock-opera format and from the surprising point of view of Christ's betrayer, Judas Iscariot. Carl Anderson stars as Judas, who has begun to believe that Jesus (Ted Neeley) has sold out and started buying into the mythology that's quickly springing up around him. Particularly disturbing to Judas is the relationship between Jesus and his friend Mary Magdalene (Yvonne Elliman), a prostitute. When Jesus throws a temper tantrum at the moneylenders in a temple, Judas determines to work with the Pharisees who want to put Jesus on trial as a false prophet. Following his success with the adaptation of Fiddler on the Roof (1971), director Norman Jewison experimented with a hippie-influenced sensibility on Jesus Christ Superstar (1973).

thanks a million
I can’t wait to see this again in 16:9 on my new HD LCD. I didn’t know that the Cinematography was by Douglas Slocombe (he also did Raiders of the Lost Arch’s Cinematography). I just saw the 2001 Gale Edwards version and all I could think of was how good this 1973 gem was. I hope this PAL version plays on my North American equipment. Thanks in advance.
