Stars the early deceased Jeffrey Hunter who had a splendorous time when he was signed by 20th Century Fox , where he remained under contract until 1959 , and within a month was sent on location in New York for Fourteen Hours (1951). Hunter was kept fairly busy in pictures, working his way from featured roles to starring roles to first-billing within two years in Single-Handed (1953). His big break came with John Ford's classic, The Searchers (1956), where he played the young cowboy who accompanies John Wayne on his epic search for a child kidnapped by Comanches. Hunter got excellent reviews for his performance in this film and justifiably so, as he held his own well with the veteran Wayne. In 1960, Hunter had one of his best roles in Hell to Eternity (1960), the true story of World War II hero Guy Gabaldon. That same year, Hunter landed the role for which he is probably best known (although it's far from his best work), when he played Jesus in producer Samuel Bronston's King of Kings (1961), which due to Hunter's still youthful looks at 33, was dubbed by irreverent Hollywood wags "I Was a Teenage Jesus." He's well accompanied by the beautiful France Nuyen , both of them set out to thwart Chinese operatives. The cast secondary is formed by unknown chinese actors , exception by Harold Sakata as the smuggler Big Buddha , he will forever be remembered as the villainous "Odd Job" in the ultimate Bond film, Goldfinger (1964), with his lethal martial arts and steel-brimmed bowler hat .
The motion picture was regularly directed by Franklin Adreon . It has some flaws and gaps , as it does tend to get a bit corny , but it has big fun , so it cares . Andreon was an American second-feature director and screenwriter . A former bond salesman, he had entered films in 1935 with Nat Levine's Mascot Pictures. As he handled Republic westerns , including films as Canadian Mounties vs. Atomic Invaders , Man with the Steel Whip , Panther Girl of the Kongo , Trader Tom of the China Seas and serials during the 1950s before moving on to episodic television. As he made a lot of TV episodes from notorious series , such as : Lock Up , Rough Riders Tombstone Territory , Gunsmoke , Men Into Space , Pony Express , Frontier Doctor , Mackenzie's Raiders , Lassie ,Colt 45 , Sugarfoot , Maverick , Everglades , Bat Masterson, among others . Rating : 5.5/10 . Average , but passable , acceptable and with big fun.
