Actual Holy Land locations in 1912 — absolutely unhinged logistics.

Sidney Olcott
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Director Sidney Olcott was so committed to authenticity that he had the cast and crew live in Palestine for months, making this one of cinema's earliest location shoots.
Released the same year the Titanic sank, this film helped establish the 'biblical epic' template that DeMille would later perfect — tableaux, pageantry, and all.
