Paul Newman's most despised movie (by himself especially) is pretty bad.

Like the Thomas B. Costain book, the picture is overdrawn and sometimes tedious, but producer-director Victor Saville still manages to instill interest in what's going on, and even hits a feeling of excitement occasionally.

Admittedly dull, overlong and kitschy, the film was dismissed as embarrassing debut for Paul Newman, yet a closer look shows the attributes that would make him a mega-star.

Though it is lavish and sweeping in execution, The Silver Chalice, for all of its august and religious aspects, is not an imposing offering.

...the movie attempts to make a grand splash. Unhappily, the splash is more like a belly flop.

Description by OLDIES.com:
Set in Rome during the early Christian era, The Silver Chalice focuses on an ill-fated sculptor (Paul Newman) sold into slavery and torn between his adoring wife (Pier Angeli) and a wily temptress (Virginia Mayo) - and threatened in his work by a power-mad sorcerer (Jack Palance) bent on overturning Christianity and becoming his own "true Messiah."

The Silver Chalice
Movie Lover: Roland Pena from
HOUSTON, TX US -- September, 7, 2016
Fictional account of making of what some followers of Christ would have wanted the chalice of the Last Supper made and Paul Newman, one of his newest roles is the sculptor assigned to create the chalice. Worth a look.
