The Living Christ
This 12-part, six-hour TV series is a faithful reenactment of the life and times of Jesus Christ. The show covers the birth of Jesus, his early life, his disciples, major sermons, and his crucifixion and resurrection. With a few exceptions, the cast was mostly made up of unknown B-movie actors. Robert Wilson played the role of Jesus Christ and continued portraying this role in other films. Released in 1951, the series is noteworthy for being filmed in color. Though originally aired as a mini-series, it was mostly shown in churches thereafter.
