Production
editThe film was shot in Lux Vide studios in Ouarzazate, Morocco.[1] Part of The Bible Collection project, it was directed by Roger Young, who had directed the series' previous chapters Joseph, Moses, Solomon and Jesus.[1][2]
Reception
editPeter T. Chattaway from Christianity Today referred to the film as "one of the weakest entries" in The Bible Collection series, and noted it "dilutes its biblical source material with much more fictitious material than any of the films that came before it".[3] Corriere della Sera's television critic Aldo Grasso described Young's direction as "honest" and "expository".[4]
In Italy, Paul the Apostle was a ratings success, being watched by over 8.7 million viewers upon its premiere.[4]
