Heston Does Rome

The Reel Deal on Ben-Hur

Faces of the Film: Charlton Heston, Jack Hawkins and Stephen Boyd

What's the Reel Deal?: This movie was the real deal when it came to Rome. One of the biggest movie budgets of all time, Ben-Hur was an epic among epics. The tale of the rise, fall and rise of a Jew in the world of Rome. Multiple cameos by Jesus throughout. 

Standing on the Podium: Gold. If there was something higher Ben-Hur would get it. This film pulls no punches and delivers an amazing story. Charlton Heston delivers the performance of his career and it walked away with 11 Oscars! If you have never seen Ben-Hur, it is well worth the watch.
