The greatest story ever told about The Greatest Story Ever Told

There is a great story behind The Greatest Story Ever Told that involves director George Stevens and superstar John Wayne in the role of a Roman centurion. His one line in the picture was: "Truly, this man was the Son of God." After a couple of attempts at the seemingly simple line, Stevens gently told him, "Duke, what we need in this line is something more. Look up at the man and give us some awe." Wayne nodded affirmatively, Stevens signaled the cameras to roll, and Wayne said, "Awww, truly this man was the Son of God."
