"David"
(1997) Director: Robert Markowitz
A
very good production of King David. Lenonard Nimoy, known best
for Star Trek's Mr. Spock, does an excellant preformace as the Prophet
Samuel who anointed David, the young shephard boy, who becomes a King.
Nathaniel Parker as David is most impressive in his victories,
failures, and recovery as the man who's royal dynasty will last forever.
Also, Jonathan Price, as King Saul was also fantastic.
