The Story of Ruth (1960)

A priestess falls in love with a jeweller of foreign origin. She becomes influenced by the man's religion.

The beginning is absurd, especially in what concerns the main character's behavior. It gets better after Ruth moves to Judah, but the script is still plagued by psychological shortcomings. The backbone of the plotline is interesting (only after that initial part, I mean) and the film has nice visuals, but overall it is a rather vulgar film.
