This was a very entertaining film about the man who was a crook and obtained his freedom when Jesus Christ was crucified on the cross. Anthony Quinn, (Barabbas) gave an outstanding performance and the role suited him perfectly. The story showed how Barabbas suffered greatly after his freedom and wound up in salt mines doing the worst kind of work and then having to fight as a gladiator against a powerful threat, Jack Palance, (Tovald) who gave an outstanding supporting role. This is a good film to show around the Easter season, however, this is pure fiction about the life of Barabbas and Hollywood present a good film along with the great actor Anthony Quinn.
