Jesus Christ Superstar [VHS] Overview
Ted Neeley makes for a wimpy looking Jesus in Norman Jewison's screen adaptation of the Andrew Lloyd Webber-Tim Rice "rock opera," which was a smash on stage in the early '70s. Jewison (
Other People's Money) adds some good exterior settings in the desert, but Webber and Rice's dialogue-free story (everything is sung, as in a real opera), with its quasi-profundities about the inner demons of principal figures in the life of Christ, is the real hook. Yvonne Elliman sings the show's best-known song, "I Don't Know How to Love Him."

Customer Reviews
I love this movie, so I was happy to see again. Typically a film is very clear, but there are some moments in the film where the picture freezes. What I especially like the commentary and special features such as discussion between Ted Neeley and Norman Jewison is. This is a great feature, and the gallery, which was so well done, along with the music. It 'nice that not only images. The documentary by Tim Rice, who was very informative.I was a bit 'disappointed that there are no pictures inside the DVD case, with the disc. There is a place at their disposal, so I think it would be something. It 'was a good price at $ 9.99, even though she came to $ 22 with delivery. The sound was very good, too, which is very important. I asked if there is something inside of the container different from the DVD, but until I can play, and it works, I'm happy with him.
