UCLA Film & Television Archive, Cecilia de Mille Presley and The Cecil B. DeMille Foundation present “The Greatest Showman: Cecil B. DeMille.”
The Crusades (1935)
Directed by Cecil B. DeMille.
In the quest to reclaim Jerusalem from Islamic warrior Saladin, Richard the Lionhearted sees an opportunity to escape a politically expedient marriage, but soon finds it necessary to grudgingly take a bride (Berengaria, princess of Navarre) as a condition of assistance from her father in his campaign. Their budding romance, developing an ever-loftier tone, becomes the film’s tender heart as Richard finds purpose in battle, and even solidarity with Saladin himself.

The Godless Girl (1929)
Directed by Cecil B. DeMille.
In this curious exposé, atheist high school student Judith fervently spreads her message to fellow pupils, leading to a violent and tragic clash with faithful campus Christians. Both Judith and Christian student Bob are transported to reform school, where hardships bridge the distance between them. This UCLA Film & Television Archive restoration represents a rare artifact from the early days of sound-on-film, offering music and some dialogue, while an all-silent version was also released.
