Description: A biblical tale of love, tragedy, loss and redemption. Gregory Peck stars in this gripping retelling of the beloved Old Testament story. Although he has killed Goliath and prevailed in countless battles, there is one force that Israel's king David cannot vanquish: love. Smitten with the beautiful Bathsheba, David sends her soldier husband, Uriah, into a hopeless battle, setting into motion his own downward spiral. Neglecting kingdom and faith, David incurs the wrath of God, The distraction of his country and the ill will of his people, who expect Bathsheba to pay the ultimate price for adultery. Gorgeously filmed, rapturously acted and deeply moving, David and Bathsheba's tale of romantic obsession is as beautiful as it is timeless.
