The acting is awkward and melodramatic. Martin Sheen is no favorite of mine. But the story itself manages to shine through, tugging on the heartstrings. Artaban has every intention of meeting this new king, but people in need always block his way, as he feels compelled to stop and assist. Alan

Arkin is mostly annoying as the shallow whiny slave; but has one or two redeeming moments later on. The risen Lord easily recognizes Artaban at the very end of his life.

This is a very moving performance and message, in both the story and video. It should be in video collections in all Christian libraries.
