The Big Fisherman

A perennial favourite with wide appeal from Lloyd C. Douglas. The basis for a movie of the same title directed by Frank Borzage.

His own unhappy experience of filming The Robe prompted Douglas, when he produced The Big Fisherman as the sequel to The Robe, to stipulate that The Big Fisherman would be his last novel and that he would not permit it to be made into a motion picture, used over the radio, condensed, or serialised. Eventually, however, The Big Fisherman was filmed in 1959.
