Saul becomes jealous of the popularity of his protege David and tries to kill him. David goes into hiding.

Cast

Production

The film was a co-production between ABC-TV and William Goetz. It was shot in Israel and London.[3] It was intended that the film be released as two one-hour episodes for TV in the US and as a feature in other countries.[3] Part one was to be called David the Outlaw; part two David the Hunted.[4]

"It's a simple story," said Chandler "only half a dozen people in it. There'll be no chariot race."[5] Filming took place in Israel in August and September 1960; Israel troops guarded them near the Jordan border. The unit then shifted to Elstree studios in London. Filming had completed by October.[6]

During filming Chandler met David Ben Gurion.

Release

ABC could not find a sponsor for the program. It eventually screened on ABC as a Sunday night movie in 1962.[7] The film drew record high ratings and prompted ABC to commission a series Great Bible Stories.[8]
