Greatest Story Ever Told. With his THE GREATEST STORY EVER TOLD (1965, UA), producer/director George Stevens set out to create a simple, straight-forward life of Jesus Christ that would stand the test of time as the definitive Biblical epic. He worked on the screenplay with James Lee Barrett and Carl Sandburg. He recruited a great all-star cast, some in major roles and some cameos. And he scouted locations all over the American Southwest, finally settling on locations in Nevada, California's Death Valley, and Arizona's Monument Valley. To him these rugged mountains and valleys seemed closer to the Holy Land of Christ than Israel-or Morocco or Tunisia or Spain-did in the early 1960's.
