No Greater Power 1960

Cathedral Films Collection: No Greater Power (1960/24m) The story of Zaccheus as recorded in Luke 11 shows him as an impoverished potter who takes advantage of circumstances to gain the exalted position of tax collector in Jericho. He uses his wealth and power to further his own selfish ends, but everything changes when Jesus comes to supper. The film was shot by veteran cinematographer John Alton (Elmer Gantry) and is notable for its effective use of light and shadow, most notably when Jesus is strongly backlit giving a halo effect. This is the only known original sepia tone print of this Cathedral Films classic.
