The Bible (and Hollywood apocrypha) in movie posters.
Since 1898, filmmakers have been portraying Bible stories and imagining subtexts--Lot trying to save Sodom, Pompeiians and gladiators meeting Jesus, and various people romancing Mary Magdalene. The Museum of Biblical Art is displaying movie posters from Salome to King of Kings in Reel Religion: A Century of the Bible and Film.

I saw the ROBE over 40 years ago and I would like to see it again and have it for keeps. If you can send me a DVD of the ROBE, that will be okay for me.
