Review of Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ (1925) by Joel A — 26 Oct 2011
An incredible achievement for it's time...a epic masterpiece. In many ways this film exceeded the 1959 version, but I still loved both.
The Jesus sub story in this version was far better done than the 59 version, but it's no point comparing to each other they are both fantastic films.
The sets in this film are extraordinary and it was rumored that the galley fights on the ocean that 400 extras lost their life...an epic and intimate film a must see silent epic.
