LITTLE BEN
Seeing Charlton Heston in the big Cinemascope Version of Ben Hur so many times, it was hard in the beginning, to relate to the little man in this movie that played Ben until, the Terrific production values rolled out in Great storytelling and acting, soon revealing the character to be believable and fitting perfectly into the well chosen cast making for a very engrossing experience and deeply moving portrayal of this novel that lead me to purchase the DVD for my own. It will surprise you how much you can forget the Charlton Heston and Stephen Boyd Version and delight in the way this production starts with the friendship between the two as boys,.. then grown up enemies. Soundtrack is never lush but perfectly fits with drums and instrumental sounds matching that era. Exciting and beautifully shot on location with special effects that are mostly believable.
