Cinematic adaptation of the Old Testament story. King David (Gregory Peck), much beloved by his subjects and a war hero of long standing, falls victim to the sins of the flesh when he falls in love with Bathsheba (Susan Hayward), the wife of Uriah (Kieron Moore), one of David's most trusted soldiers. His downfall begins when David orders Uriah into a suicidal battle, knowing that this will clear the way for his relationship with Bathsheba. His infatuation leads him to neglect his kingdom and his people, and invokes the wrath of God. Only after his land has been devastated by God's hand does David offer atonement.

Please note this is a region 2 DVD and will require a region 2 or region free DVD player in order to play. Gregory Peck stars in this gripping retelling of the beloved Old Testament story. Although he has killed Goliath and prevailed in countless battles, there is one force that Isreal's King David (Peck) cannot vanquish--love. Smitten with the beautiful Bathsheba (Susan Haywood), David sends her soldier husband, Uriah (Kieron Moore) into a hopeless battle, setting into motion his own downward spiral. Neglecting kingdom and faith, David incurs the wrath of God, the destruction of his country and the ill of his people, who expect Bathsheba to pay the ultimate price for adultery. Gorgeously filmed, rapturously acted and deeply moving, David and Bathsheba's tale of romantic obsession is as beautiful as it is timeless.
