This collector's treasury features two of Hollywood's biggest stars in two powerful epics. First, Edmund Purdom is Herod the Great, the towering King of Judea who drives himself mad battling invaders, prophecies of the Messiah and pursuers of his wife. Then Joan Collins delivers one of her most memorable performances as Esther, bride of the King of Persia, in this faithful retelling of the Old Testament story of Purim.
