He is risen! He is RISEN!

This is probably the first cinematic depiction of the resurrection in color: DeMille's original 1927 version of King of Kings. Typical of the silent era, the acting is overdone, while the resurrection itself is a bit understated. Jesus walks out of the tomb as if nothing else happened. Nevertheless, a very moving portrayal of the most glorious morning in history.
