    I was obsessed with this made for TV movie when I was younger, not because it was a bible story but because Paul Mercurio look so darn hot in it. Definately one of TNT's best TV movies.

    (1995 Director: Rogert Young ) One of the better films of ancient Egyptian life & Hebrew legends, Jacob, son of Isaac son of Abraham.....(and NOT Moses!) Paul Mercurio plays the lead...alongside Sir Ben Kingsley..and Martin Landau as his Father (Jacob)...and Lesley Ann Warren (...( read more)wife of Pottifer) Zapaneth Pinao, Joseph's new name as second in charge of Egypt for storing the grain in conservation for the years of famine.

    might be good. It's a good story, but it depends if they portrayed it accurately.

    For being several years old, this movie was made very well. Great musical score and visuals. I've always loved the story of Joseph, but there is so much more to the story than the fued with his brothers and the magical coat.

    This movie explains a lot about the life of Joseph. Great actors.

    This is definetly one of the better Bible stories made by TNT. A true forgiveness story. A refreshing story now that I think of it, as stories nowadays are based on revenge. Much different story than what I am used to seeing. Great acting as well from a great cast. I mean co...( read more)me one, Martin Landau and Ben Kingsley. That's quality acting and what a great job they did with the characters. Same thing wiht Paul Mercurio. Excellent job with an excellent and touching story.
