Howard Keel as Simon Peter in THE BIG FISHERMAN
One of those Biblical PEPs that's pretty much impossible to get. It is available online with a message at the beginning stating that this film is recommended by the National Education Association. No big orgy at the end of this film though.

WELCOME BACK!! This movie I saw on TCM maybe 2 years ago or less. It was part of a salute to Howard Keil and his movies. That could be a reason why it's hard to get a hold of, and I don't know if it's available on DVD. When I first saw this years ago I was somewhat disappointed it could of been a lot better if Hollywood would of went by the New Testament.
There's a good reason why this is difficult to find ... it's lousy, from its polyester togas to its linoleum floors. Bad, even by Hollywood Bible-movie standards. I too saw this on Turner, they should've sandwiched it in between "Plan 9 from Outer Space" and "Bride of the Monster", it's that bad. Another example of Hollywood not knowing what to do with a talented person.."I know, we'll throw them into a Bible movie." I'm sure if Judy Garland would've lasted a little longer at MGM they would've thrown HER into a Bible movie as well.
SR, nice to be back!
I've seen only parts of it and it doesn't look too promising
