From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
The Big Fisherman is a 1959 film about the life of St. Peter, one of the three closest disciples of Jesus Christ. In one scene, two men approach Peter (played by Howard Keel) asking if he believes in turning the other cheek. When he says he does, one of them hits him on the cheek to test him.
The film is adapted from a novel written by Lloyd C. Douglas.
