Films include: How the Grinch Stole Christmas!, When Worlds Collide, The Day The Earth Stood Still, Quo Vadis; The Robe, The Ten Commandments, King of Kings; Jesus Christ, Superstar, The Last Temptation of Christ, The Passion of Christ, The Exorcist, The Omen, Close Encounters of The Third Kind, Agnes of God, The Apostle, The Natural, Field Of Dreams, Little Buddha, The Legend of Bagger Vance, The Chosen, The Quarrel, Destiny, My Son the Fanatic."--BOOK JACKET.
