Must be a copyright issue with your country. Works fine on my end. I picked the Battle/Parkening version because, to me, it's the most simple and beautiful. Quite the opposite of this popular "contemporary" version which has a tacky club beat added at the back end -

I don't know the movie. Have you guys seen it? What's its name?
Yeah, that's made with clips of the actress, Olivia Hussey as The Virgin Mary, Franco Zeffirelli's 1977 TV film, Jesus of Nazareth.
The over 6 hour movie is in two parts (and one 144 minute condensed version) on YouTube if you're interested.



Hussey was also Juliet in Zeffirelli's '70 version of Romeo & Juliet, still my favorite version on film.
