Music Makes "Ben Hur" Great!?!

Rating: 10/10 (30 June 2008)

... As a print journalist of 35+ yrs. in the mainstream-&-gay media on both coasts, including 17 with "Billboard" in L.A., Vegas-&-the Bflo./Rochester, NY markets, the film score to "Ben Hur" really makes this classic, long-lasting movie! - I'll NEVER forget seeing the large-screen/full-stereo version in an old-time Salt Lake City theater. It was mind-blowing in 70m!?! ... & yrs. later, it was interesting to learn about the semi-homo-erotic scenes (intentional-or-NOT) between wonderful actor Stephen Boyd & so-so B-actor Heston. Director William Wyler, as usual, is GENIUS! - If you EVER get-a-chance to see "Ben Hur" on the LARGE screen with FULL stereo sound, TAKE IT!!! This is Hollywood at it's-VERY-best!!!
