Review of Ben-Hur (1959) by Bosley Crowther for The New York Times — 10 Feb 2010
The artistic quality and taste of Mr. Wyler have prevailed to make this a rich and glowing drama that far transcends the bounds of spectacle. His big scenes are brilliant and dramatic—that is unquestionable.
There has seldom been anything in movies to compare with this picture's chariot race.
