Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: A reverential and sometimes majestic treatment of chronicles that have lived three millenia...In concerning itself with an ageless romance, "David and Bathsheba" admirably achieves its goal.
Fresh: This is a big picture in every respect.
Fresh: Entertaining less as a Bibilical epic than as an epic exercise in extreme camp.
