I remember the 59 movie as I was 11 at the time. I thought the music score was fantastic. There was an actual overture before the film began. Heston was utterly outstanding. The movie was so long it had an intermission. I remember looking at the back of the theatre and seeing a whole row of nuns in full habit.
I thought the music score was fantastic.
the music made the nativity scene, sparsely shot as it was, just beautiful...in that sequence, therre as a scene with a lowing cow, and a young calf springs up and runs to the cow; I heard it was a goof, but that it was so spontaneous it was left in...glad it was, it as such a poignant moment...
