Movie Title: The Silver Chalice The Silver Chalice is available for streaming or downloading. |
Based on a best-seller by Thomas B. Costain, and directed by Victor Saville, “The Silver Chalice” was one of the studio’s early CinemaScope films, and was really a variation on Fox’s “The Robe,” the first CinemaScope movie that had been a huge success in 1953… The action follows a group of Christians who are dedicated to preserving Christ’s Holy Cup twenty years after the Last Supper…

Since Newman had the lead as a young Greek silversmith, sold into slavery, then chosen by the Christians to design a chalice for the Cup, becomes involved in battles and orgies, and must decide between the pagan world represented by a courtesan (Virginia Mayo) and the Christian world represented by his young, innocent wife (Pier Angeli). There is also a mad pagan magician (Jack Palance), who wants to destroy the chalice and establish his own religion, replacing Christ’s miracles with black magic…
Newman was ideally cast as a Greek, because of his classic features, but he makes his film debut at particularly unfortunate time… 1954 was the year of “The Wild One” and “On the Waterfront,” and Brando was at the height of his popularity…
The Silver Chalice, finally available on DVD in a beautiful widescreen transfer, is a unique example of the epic genre. Hoping to achieve something different from the type of epics being made in Hollywood at the time, Warner Bros. hired Art Director Boris Leven and Production Designer Rolf Gerard (of the Metropolitan Opera) to create a very stylized concept of the ancient world. Thanks mainly to Paul Newman’s derisive comments about this movie, it’s reputation has suffered over the years. The Silver Chalice needs to be reevaluated as, in addition to the stunning visuals, it also boasts an involving plot, some fine performances, and a wonderful Academy Award nominated score by Franz Waxman.
