Jesus Christ Superstar (1973)

Director: Norman JewisonWriters: Melvyn Bragg, Norman JewisonStars: Ted Neeley, Carl Anderson, Yvonne EllimanCountries: USALanguages: EnglishSummary: Based on a concept album project written by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice, and the subsequent long-running Broadway performance, this film tells the story of the final 6 days in the life of Jesus Christ through the troubled eyes of Judas Iscariot. Too often mis-labeled a musical, this film is a "rock opera." There are no spoken lines, everything is sung. Written by Ralf Southard <[email protected]>
