The Prodigal fills in all those bits in the parable of the Prodigal Son that Jesus omitted, and very entertainingly too.

"The Prodigal", could certainly never be regarded as one of the better known Epic productions to come out of Hollywood during the boom period for these types of films in the 1950's. However there is still much of interest in this large scale MGM attempt at adapting the parable of the Prodigal Son into a large scale screen epic. The 1950's found MGM and indeed most major studios sinking into financial crisis due to dwindling movie attendances and the onslaught of television as the main entertainment medium. The studios ...
