The images consist of a portrait of Howard Keel as Simon Peter; John Saxon and Susan Kohner as the revenge-seeking lovers; a fishing boat; Martha Hyer and Herbert Lom as Herodias and Herod Antipas; Howard Keel as Simon Peter fighting the raging sea; and Martha Hyer as Herodias. Brief descriptive credits are printed inside the portfolio's cover. Very good.
Based on the novel by Lloyd C. Douglas,
"'The Big Fisherman' is the story of Simon Peter, a two-fisted Galilean who put down his nets in a momentus act of faith; Fara, half Judean and half Arabian is driven from her homeland on an errand of vengeance; Voldi is the young Arabian prince who takes up her vendetta when she is purged of hate; and Antipas and Herodias are the dissolute rulers of Galilee whose reign is marked by tyranny."
