Einkunnir og umsagnir

Ben-Hur is a magnificent epic. The chariot race still impresses but the sheer size of the film is matched by legend William Wyler's splendid direction, Miklos Rosza's memorable score and a great cast. A special nod should be given to Andrew Marton who was the 2nd unit director during the chariot race (future Spaghetti western director Sergio Leone was involved too). Winner of 11 Academy Awards, Ben-Hur is a delight from start to finish and not to be missed.

Such a good film, still stands up against newer films even after have a century.

The story great the size of this film is mind blowing thousands of different outfits and no doubt the same in extras. A must see.
