Untefnational Soimdphoto) Colored Scripture HOLLYWOOD "David and Bathsheba" is smooching, struggle, and spectacle on a big scale in col or. The tribulations of Israel's ex-shepherd-boy king and his married sweetheart are imaginatively based on Chapters 11 and 12 of the Sec ond Book of Samuel. The two-hour film is rich in cos tumes, extras, settings, and acting J talent. But the Heavy emphasis on sex and the theme that adultry does not pay are familiar ingredients. King David fGegory Peck) and his beautiful neighbor Bathsheba (Susan Hayward) fafl m love. Bath sheba, whose husband is off to the wars, finds herself with child. David, to forestall suspicion, calls her husband Uriah home from the front. But Uriah, devoted sold ier, denies himself home life while his comrades are still in battle. David sends him back to the hottest part of the fight to die. God, displeased with David and Bathsheba's sins, scourges the land with drought and famine. The bearded prophet Nathan (Ravmond Mr. and i7r. f Canton, Route 3' Mr, and Mrs; Gen( Clyde, a daughter. -J Massey), tipped off by David's shrewish wife Michael (Jayne Meadows), denounces David. The mob is ready to stone Bathsheba like any other adultress of the time. But David prays fervently to God. The rain falls. The repentant sinners presumably are forgiven ; Maybe unknown actors would be more believable in such a glossy amplification of 3,000-year-old Bib lical history. Certainly they would be less attractive at the box-office. But it's hard to forget that Peck is currently swashbuckling on movie screens as Capt. Horatio Horn blow.
