THE GREATEST STORY EVER TOLD is a 1965 US drama depicting the life and teachings of Jesus Christ, culminating in his crucifixion by Pontius Pilate.

threat and horror
A king orders the murders of all first-born sons. Armed soldiers charge towards women and children, who scream, and, in a brief moment, a soldier stabs a child's cot with his sword. A man taken prisoner has a sword held to his throat.
injury detail
There are scenes showing dead bodies, including children, figures nailed to crucifixes, and blood in the aftermath of violence. There is also an undetailed nailing of a man to a cross, as well as bloody imagery during the ritualistic preparation of a calf for slaughter.
additional issues
There are undetailed references to adultery, scenes of very mild violence, a scene in which a man throws himself into a fire as penance for betrayal, and themes of bereavement.
