Joseph



It is very difficult to recreate a Bible event, especially one of this magnitude. Yet Roger Young had done it with Joseph. My only regret is that it was made for TV and not widescreen. Ben Kingsley, once again, displays his brilliance as a method actor. The writing kept right in pace with the Biblical narrative. The mourning of Jacob, played to perfection by Martin Landau, and the revealing of Joseph to his brothers, still to this day, brings a lump to my throat.
