David and Bathsheba is a respectable, slightly stodgy cinematic adaptation of the Old Testament story. King David (Gregory Peck), much beloved by his subjects and a war hero of long standing, falls victim to the sins of the flesh when he falls in love with Bathsheba (Susan Hayward), the wife of Uriah (Kieron Moore), one of David's most trusted soldiers. His downfall begins when David orders Uriah into a suicidal battle, knowing that this will clear the way for his relationship with Bathsheba. His infatuation leads him to neglect his kingdom and his people, and invokes the wrath of God. Only after his land has been devastated by God's hand does David offer atonement. The film's lavish production values compensate ever so slightly for the long-winded script. David and Bathsheba was the last major "flat-screen" Biblical epic; it was filmed in 1951 B.C. -- Before Cinemascope. Hal Erickson, Rovi

David is good, falls and God FORGIVES! PRAISE GOD
Bible stories are great entertainment! Where are directors, producers and actors who have the courage to re-create the stories for today's audiences?
Gregory Peck and Susan Hayward are heroic and yet filled with human failing... the story is told with sensitivity and creates a desire to develop a relationship with God like the relationship that David had! Bravo!!!!
