Instantly the film's dramatic impact deep mean- ing registered, and it was heralded a masterpiece. Brilliant in its rugged simplicity and breaking many film traditions with an unfettered approach that exudes enormous depth and power, “The Great Commandment,” which 20th Century-Fox presents tomor- row at the 20th Century Theatre depicts one phase of the world’s greatest drama. This unique film's theme is sim- ple. It attempts to show in stir- ring, human terms a practical ap-, plication of teachings that have endured for 2,000 years. It tells the story of the Nazarene bringing about peace during a revolt against the tyranny of the Romans. The cast includes John Beal, Maurice Moscovich, Albert Dekker, Marjorie Cooley, Warren McCullum, Lloyd Corrigan, Olaf Hyiten and Ian Wolfe. The production is the result of a student’s idea. James K. Fried- rich, an undergraduate at the Uni- versity of Minnesota, was interested in films, He quit school and went to Hollywood but failed to gain recognition there. and Jan. 10, Mickey Rooney, 21-year-old screen actor, and his wife, the former Ava Gardner of Wilson, N.
