Description
|
|
|
|
Employing 100,000 costumes, 8,000 extras, and 300 sets, MGM's epic 1959 70 mm Technicolor screen adaptation of Lew Wallace's bestselling novel was, and still is, the biggest—and arguably the best—biblical-era epic ever filmed, winning an unprecedented 11 Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Actor (Charlton Heston), and Best Supporting Actor (Hugh Griffith). This two-disc 50th Anniversary Edition includes commentary by film historian T. Gene Hatcher with Charlton Heston as well as a music-only track showcasing Miklós Rózsa's Oscar-winning score.
