No matter how many times I've watched Ben-Hur since 1960, Messala still loses the race. I was a HUGE fan of Stephen Boyd and recall reading that the most painful thing about making this film - and he did his own stunts - was removing all bloody makeup he wore for his death scenes - removing it all took his own skin with it. He died so young perhaps his main purpose in life was to portray Messala.

All of Mr. Romolo Felice statues from the chariot race weren't destroyed. One is still sitting today on one of Cinecitta backlots. I drive by it quite often.

The one you see today in Cinecittà is a polystyrene replica made a few years ago to commemorate 100 years of Cinema. The original Ben Hur colossus, made with plaster and wood, were destroyed after filming by Romolo and all other workers.

Caligula is a truly one-of-a-kind piece of cinema. So many things wrong with it... and yet so many things great. Cinematically, it's pretty much a train wreck. The director seemed completely unaware of where to put the camera and what direction to shoot. The editing appears to have been done with a chainsaw. There was no narrative to speak of -- just a hodgepodge of scenes showing Caligula committing increasingly insane and barbaric acts. And yet... The fact that the movie exists at all is remarkable. No one before or since would have had the audacity to do a 2 1/2 hour big-budget pornographic historical epic, and none would have done it on the scale that Guccione did. There was a considerable amount of imagination on display, particularly in the sets by Danilo Donati and the music by Bruno Nicolai. The acting was superlative all the way around. And while I have no first-hand knowledge, I would imagine it is probably the most accurate depiction of the madness and decadence that was ancient Rome that has ever been put to celluloid. I would not want to live in a world where there were no films like Caligula. ** I'm not going to discuss the sex and violence; I think both are essential to the portrayal of the time and place, but some have a moral objection. Chacun ses goûts.

I was a young teen when we lived in Rome at the time of the Ben-Hur filming. Mr. William Wyler's young daughter was in the my school (International School), and we were invited to the set in Cinecitta. We saw the scene where Charlton Heston was stranded in the sea. Will never forget that field trip.

Ce chef d'œuvre restera certainement l'une des plus grandes fresques de toute l'histoire cinématographique mais surtout 61 ans après sa sortie fait toujours office de référence. Récompensé par 11 Oscars et 12 Nominations seulement dépassé par 'Titanic' de James Cameron. avec 11 Oscars et 14 Nominations.

I enjoyed the unrated version. It's big, it's ambitious, and it tells an interesting story. I remember reading that Gore Vidal was really unhappy with the final cut. He'd written a lot more homosexual sex into the script, and these were pretty much ignored by the director.

I guess with the movie you had a war of three men (Vidal, Guccione, and Brass) with three very different ideas about what they wanted the movie to be. The result is a mess. A delightful mess

Once we reached the VHS/DVD age, where film scenes could be watched over and over and over again and overanalyzed thanks to rewind, slow motion and frame-by-frame, people are spotting things that weren't given a second thought by audiences at the time the movie came out. The car chase in "Bullitt" is a another example of that.

When he was still of sound mind, Charlton Heston was on a radio talk show giving some fascinating factoids about the film. You know that part where Ben-Hur's chariot runs over the wreckage of another chariot, and he almost gets dumped out? That wasn't supposed to happen! The stunt man doubling for Heston was supposed to put his feet into some restraints, but forgot to do so. But when director William Wyler saw it, he said "That's great! Leave it in!" They hired FIVE THOUSAND extras to be the crowd- contrast that with "Gladiator" which used only 150 extras who were digitally duplicated around the arena. They built a special dining hall to feed them- which it could do in only three sittings. And in the galley scenes, those men really were sweating- you can't see them, but the ends of the oars they're pulling were attached to some really thick, heavy rubber bands. And it you want to score some trivia points, the role of Jesus was uncredited to a young actor named Claude Heater. (Look him up on IMDB). And did anybody notice that Martha Scott played Charlton Heston's mother twice- In Ben Hur, and before that in The Ten Comandments.

That statue in the middle of the racetrack was great It made the whole roman time setting believable I was impressed the first time i saw that on a large screen as a nine year old in the early 1970s Also the dolphins were a nice idea was that artistic freedom or did the Romans really use that to count The only problem with the race is because of the editing the daytime sun shadows on the track/walls make no sence it jumps Didn't notice that at the time offcourse
