Death of Dino De Laurentiis

I was sorry to hear of the death of Dino De Laurentiis, producer of Barabbas, La Biblia and a few other minor Bible films. It was only last year that I reported on the celebrations for his 90th birthday.

De Laurentiis produces over 160 films including the Hannibal series, Conan the Barbarian, Flash Gordon and Fellini's La Strada, but I will remember him for The Bible: In the Beginning. It was a pivotal Bible film for me and one which contains some of the best ever scenes from Bible films.

  1. Matt, that link to the John Dart article doesn't work. I don't think the article is gettable on the net now.

  2. Was that the one for the Jesus article because it worked OK for me just now. Or was it one related to De Laurentiis?

    Nice to hear from you again by the way.
