Ben-Hur scooped an unprecedented 11 Academy Awards® in 1959 and, unlike some later rivals, richly deserved every single one. This is epic filmmaking on a scale that had not been seen before and is unlikely ever to be seen again. But it's not just running time or a cast of thousands that makes an epic, it's the subject matter, and here the subject--Prince Judah Ben-Hur (Charlton Heston) and his estrangement from old Roman pal Messala (Stephen Boyd)--is rich, detailed, and sensitively handled. Director William Wyler, who had been a junior assistant on MGM's original silent version back in 1925, never sacrifices the human focus of the story in favor of spectacle, and is aided immeasurably by Miklos Rozsa's majestic musical score, arguably the greatest ever written for a Hollywood...

The second and last of Anthony Mann's historical epics is a smart, handsome spectacle of the decadence, corruption, and intrigue that tears apart the greatest empire the world has seen.

I remember those days. I used to dress up for work, the high heels and stockings and garter belts, before pantyhose. I like this movie and always try to catch it when it's on TV. I know I'll catch heck for saying this, but I miss those days. During the so called "women's lib" days women were very cruel to other woman who wanted to be married and raise a family. I used to say back to these woman "this is America, we have a choice". Of course I was shouted down so I learned to keep my opinions to myself.
