Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ (1925)

Written by Tourma on November 8, 2023

What an amazing, absolutely beautiful film. Especially for nearly a century ago, but for any movie ever. The backgrounds, the grand sets, the sheer amounts of extras, and the animation of the stars and the coloring of the biblical scenes. Just...wow.

And topless women! Its got everything. (not Mary)

WI first heard about this version after seeing a video on TCM about silent films. Gonna watch the '59 version tomorrow.

An absolute must watch if you like Bible fanfiction.
