No, Robert Powell was in Franco Zeffirelli's 1977 TV epic Jesus Of Nazareth. King Of Kings was Nicholas Ray's 1961 telling of the Gospels starring the great Jeffrey Hunter.

As for The Fly, Bryan. That is possibly my favourite film on that list. I do not understand where it goes wrong in your books. It has a wonderful air of melancholy and treads a fully self-conscious fine line between black comedy and po-faced seriousness. And the photography is beautiful. One of Vincent Price's finest hours, alongside Theatre Of Blood and some way behind Withfinder General.
