It's 1960 in Brooklyn, New York. Mary Weinstein, an unsuspecting Jewish virgin, enters a Port-O-Let on the Coney Island Boardwalk- for ordinary reasons. That's when the extraordinary happens. This is THE SECOND GREATEST STORY EVER TOLD.
Mira Sorvino stars as the modern day Virgin Mary and Malcolm McDowell makes a special appearance as the flamboyant Angel Gabriel, to deliver the good news. The ever busy Angel has little patience with the totally distraught and pregnant Mary. "Do you know how difficult it was to find a virgin of adult age? Not to mention one who's a good enough sport!" With the promise "Something wonderful is about to happen", Gabriel leaves Mary to confront the reality of her situation- no one will believe her.
THE SECOND GREATEST STORY EVER TOLD, a comedic contemporization of the New Testament, takes a satiric yet reverent look at the worlds varied testaments to faith. The film sends up the style of Hollywood's great Bible epics, while telling the very human story of one girl caught in a unique and hilarious dilemma.
