I saw this movie on TV when I was very young-in the mid to late 70's I believe. I really don't know much about it at all. I think the movie title was the main character's name. The main character was a man, with long hair-he looked like a biblical character and it seemed to be set in biblical times, but I really don't think it was a biblical character.

The man was a slave, he was white, and had long hair and probably a beard. I think he escaped his slavery. I remember one part in which he and the other slaves were working this round thing that hung from above, they had to turn it by having a part of it on their shoulders. I think toward the end of the movie the man was in the middle of a town with a lot of people around and almost got re-caught, but he got away, maybe by going underground. I know it is not much to go on at all, and I really do think the title was his name-if anyone could help I would be so happy because i have been trying to remember this for about 20 years, yeah

Ten Commandments (1956), starring Charlton Heston, Yul Brunner

Ben-Hur (1959), also starring Charlton Heston

The Bible (1966)

I really don't think it is any of these....I think the name of the man was at least a three syllable name. I wish I could remember more.

I don't think it's Spartacus because the guy has long hair and a beard( i think) He looks worn and dirty. And I don't think it's Barrabas-but I can't actually be sure because I couldn't find a movie by that name except from 1919 and there weren't any pictures. It definitely was more biblical like(times) but I really don't think it was a biblical character-I don't remember any swords or Hercules type stuff. thanks for trying it is still driving me crazy!!
