本片由五个短片组成,改编自20世纪初美国著名短篇小说家欧·亨利O. Henry的五部短篇小说:The Clarion Call / 嘹亮的号角(1908年)、The Ransom of Red Chief / 红毛酋长的赎金(1910年)、The Gift of the Magi / 麦琪的礼物(1905年)、The Cop and the Anthem / 警察与赞美诗(1904年)、The Last Leaf / 最后的常春藤叶(1907年)
乔治.史蒂文斯导演的此片长二百二十余分钟,堪称同一题材片之最,同时也是正面描写耶稣生平事迹的影片中投资最大之作。剧情讲述基督耶稣自出生至钉死十字架上的故事。影片场面颇为壮观,可惜节奏太慢,剧情的进展亦不够流畅,看来相当沉闷乏味。马克斯.冯.赛多、卡罗尔.贝克等大批影星出演了此片,均有不错表现。
尚.尼古拉斯哥导演的音乐气息浓厚的爱情悲剧,琼.克劳福德与约翰.歌菲尔德在片中均有精彩演出。片中多段精彩的小提琴演奏由大师艾萨克史坦恩幕后操刀,对全片的哀怨气氛增色不少。
德国作曲家、指挥家韦克斯曼1947年为美国电影《银海香魂》编写了《卡门幻想曲》,这部作品充满了吉卜赛的风格和绚丽的色彩,并对演奏技巧要求极高,该片也获得了1947年奥斯卡最佳音乐奖提名。
