Ben Hur

I have been working my way through classic movies recently. This was on the shelf, it followed me home, and I am glad I saw it. It is a much quoted movie, and not too bad in its own right.

Charlton Heston does a nice job with the lead. They really do use a cast of thousands. The chariot race really is spectacular.

I spent the first half hour expecting to hear dialogue from Life of Brian - so I am summoning that from the library next.
