      Potiphar: And to whom are these prayers addressed to? Which gods?

      Joseph: Only one, my lord.

      Potiphar: Only one god. Must be very poor indeed.

      [crowd laughs]

      Joseph: My God provides for all my needs.

      Potiphar: He hasn't done very well for you, has he?

      [more laughter]

    Best "Joseph" ever!
    Every time this 1995 version of Joseph's profound story is on TV again, I watch it. I'm mesmerized by the beautiful Soul of Joseph as depicted by the really likable Paul Mercurio. He brings Joseph's kind and courageous spirit to life.

    Also excellent is Ben Kingsley, Martin Landau, Leslie A. Warren. This film is thoughtful, beautifully photographed and directed. For me it is essential viewing for audiences who want accurate Biblical stories, as well as for those who simply like well-produced movies.

    Joseph truly has a character to aspire to as followers of the deeper nature of humanity, and his characterization is both believable and amazing in this rendition. Because it isn't certain who really made this story work, I have to give everyone in the production credit.
