The 1959 film version of "Ben-Hur" is a brilliant classic in every way.
It
features superb acting, magnificent direction, terrific sets, costumes,
cinematography, and editing, and one of the greatest film scores in the
history of motion pictures. It deserved every Oscar it got, and sports
one
of the greatest cinematic achievements ever filmed: the Chariot Race.
See
it. Treasure it. It's my favorite film of all time.
