Omar Sharif is excellent in this biblical epic as Saint Peter. He is shown from the beginning as an early follower of Jesus of Nazareth. The script is faithful to the New Testament description of Peter's life as the orignal founder of Christianity. It runs a bit too long at over three and a half hours but EWTN ran it over the span of two Saturdays. The scenery is breathtaking and the acting good throughout. Sharif is perfectly suited for the role. I recommend this film for even lapsed Catholics such as myself.
