KING OF KINGS

Original British 20 inch x 30 inch Double Crown Poster for the 1961 Nicholas Ray Biblical Epic KING OF KINGS starring Jeffrey Hunter (as Jesus Christ), Siobhan McKenna (as Mary), Hurd Hatfield (as Pontius Pilate), Ron Randell (as Lucius), Viveca Lindfors (as Claudia), Rita Gam (as Herodias), Carmen Sevilla (as Mary Magdalene), Brigid Bazlen (as Salome), Harry Guardino (as Barabbas), Rip Torn (as Judas), Frank Thring, Guy Rolfe, Maurice Marsac, Gregoire Aslan, Robert Ryan (“as John the Baptist”) and Orson Welles as the narrator.

The film is a dramatization of the story of Jesus Christ from his birth and ministry to his crucifixion and resurrection, with much dramatic license.

Poster art after William Reynold Brown (1917 – 1991). An American realist artist who painted many Hollywood film posters. He was also briefly active as a comics artist.
