Pontius Pilate (Italian: Ponzio Pilato , French: Ponce Pilate) is an Italian drama film from 1962, directed by Gian Paolo Callegari and Irving Rapper, written by Oreste Biancoli, starring Jean Marais and Jeanne Crain.[1][2][3]
The film was known under the titles: "Ponce Pilate" (France), "Poncio Pilatos" (Spain), "Pontius Pilate" (UK / USA), "Pontius Pilatus – Statthalter des Grauens" (Germany).[4]
John Drew Barrymore played the characters of both Judas Iscariot and Jesus of Nazareth.[5]
The scenario was based mainly on the Gospel of John. The following biblical passages are quoted in the film: Matthew 27:11; Mark 15:2; Luke 23:1; John 18:33; 18:37; John 18:38; 19:9-11; Matthew 27:24; Deuteronomy 21:6-7; John 19:19-21; 19:22.[6]
This film takes a perspective on events surrounding the Passion of Jesus Christ by focusing on Pontius Pilate, the Procurator of Judea who condemned Him to death. Pilate is a man for whom nothing seems to go as planned.
