I’d rather not know. lol
Get the silent 1925 version! Just as exciting, art deco costumes, great naval battle and chariot race as good as the 1959 version.
It’s also shorter with less gab.

P.S. I just wanted to say Thanks.

The DVD of Ben Hur that I have around here may have that, or maybe it’s on the BluRay. For a movie I don’t ever watch, I sure have a lot of interest in it, eh? ;’)
