Reader comments: The Nativity Story
JIM BEVAN | Dec. 13, 2006
Franco Zeffirelli covered this material more convincingly
in his 1977 TV mini-series (available on DVD)...Jesus of
Nazareth. The Nativity portion of that production does
the "historically accurate" authentic "look and feel" with
Zeffirelli's famous eye to detail and with a higher level
of art. Olivia Hussey (Juliet in Romeo & Juliet) is a
wonderful Mary. Mary's "dilemma" within the
context of Jewish law is thoroughly handled. In our family
we have shown this version of the Nativity on Christmas Eve
(plus or minus a day or two) for the majority of the years
since 1977.
