Jesus Christ Superstar 1973 Film Version

Ted Neeley, Carl Anderson, Yvonne Elliman, Barry Dennen, Bob Bingham

The second Biblical epic to be turned into a musical by composer Andrew Lloyd Webber and lyricist Tim Rice, recounts the last week in the life of Jesus Christ in rock-opera format. Following his success with the adaptation of Fiddler on the Roof (1971), director Norman Jewison experimented with a hippie-influenced sensibility on Jesus Christ Superstar (1973). Among such touches are depictions of the cast arriving via bus to mount the show, modern high-tech weaponry in the hands of the ancient Romans, and on-location filming in Israel. ~ Karl Williams, Rovi
