This epic film first screened in 1959, based on the novel by Lew Wallace, Ben-Hur: A Tale of Christ, and directed by William Tyler, starring Charlton Heston, Stephen Boyd, Haya Harareet, Jack Hawkins, and many more, is one of the most memorable movies in my mind. Who can forget that galley scene, and of course that simply stupendous chariot race scene! Even by today’s hi-tech, computer-generated special effects standards, that chariot race scene in Ben-Hur is regarded as one of the most sensational action sequences ever to be captured on film. Ben-Hur won eleven Academy Awards, which included Best Picture.
