The Agony and the ecstasy 1965

Starring: Charlton Heston

Pope Julius 11 persuades Michelangelo to leave his sculptures and paint the ceiling of the Sistine chapel.

Charlton Heston's quest to play all the World's most famous people continues with this movie. The film captured well the huge personal sacrifices made by Michelangelo and the drama and longevity of his work was well portrayed. I thought Heston put in a good performance, but I never really bought Rex Harrison as the pope, his voice just seemed all wrong. Intersting subject though. 6/10
