Golgotha is a 1935 French film about the final days and death of Jesus Christ. It was directed by Julien Duvivier, and stars Harry Baur as Herod and Jean Gabin as Pontius Pilate. Robert le Vigan plays Christ. It opened in the U.S. in 1937 (but was banned by British censors). Le Vigan's performance marks the first direct portrayal of Christ in a sound film. As opposed to most of his appearances onscreen, Jesus is seen speaking and in closeup, not merely from a distance as in Ben-Hur or The show more Robe.
Unfortunately, this movie will offend a number of people: Many of the Jews in leading roles look stereotypical of the times and could have stepped right out of the costume sets of Jud Suss or Der Ewige Jude. Jesus Christ looks as "aryan" as the Romans who are seemingly bullied into persecuting him and some of the statements -- especially concerning financial transactions, as well as the famous exhortation that Jesus' blood will be upon the heads of the Jews and their children -- are extremely inflammatory and politically incorrect by today's standards. Nonetheless, it was not the purposeful intention of the director to inflame anti-Semitic passion; this film is simply a mirror of the times and its prejudices.

2022 movie #139. 1964 Alcoholic screenwriter (an alcoholic Holden), hires a young typist (Hepburn) and, in extended fantasy sequences they act out the movie he's trying to write. Only mildly amusing but it's got Audrey Hepburn which helps.
