Movie Description Paul Newman and Lorne Greene make their screen debuts in this film about a Greek sculptor recruited to create the cup that will be used at the Last Supper. Academy Award Nominations: 2, including Best (Color) Cinematography.
Synopsis Paul Newman made his feature-film debut as Basil, a young Greek sculptor hired to fashion an elaborate silver chalice that will hold the cup used by Jesus at the Last Supper. But the Romans and Emperor Nero want to see Christ's cup destroyed.
These plans also coincide with those of Simon, a self-described magician, who wants to use the destruction of the cup as a tool for harnessing power.
