Editorial Review:

Amazon.com essential video:
William Wyler (Wuthering Heights) had directing duties on most of this 1959 version of the story by Lew Wallace, starring Charlton Heston as the Jewish friend of a Roman (Stephen Boyd), who inevitably become enemies during the time of Christ. Stodgy but engrossing, the film has never lost its initial value as an ambitious and entertaining historical epic. Heston looks at home against the broad canvas, which leads through days of slavery, loss, and triumph. Andrew Marton directed the climactic chariot-race scene, a triumph of kinetic action and great editing. --Tom Keogh

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great
Ben-Hur (1959) was a great movie Starring: Charlton Heston is hands down a timeless epic. This legendary film is an incredible piece of work. The movie covers the crucifixion of Jesus in a beautiful way.
If you are interested in the hope that God can only bring in this day and age I suggest you read a great book entitled "The Enlightenment, What God Told Me After One Million Prayers: A Message for Everyone," by John H. Eagan. It brought me to tears. It's great and deals with Jesus' Passion. ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A Tale That You Will Not Forget! The Second Greatest Film in History!
There are tales that have been told and this is a tale that will stay with you long after you have seen it! It is an epic spectacle in film making. This particular DVD set gives you the full background of this film including the feature version and it also includes the silent version of 1925 that is glorious. This version of 1959 is the second greatest film ever made coming a close second to 'The Ten Commandments.' William Wyler has wrenched his full emotions while making this film and the magic has ...

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - one of the greatest stunts in film!
The story of a prominent and wealthy Jewish family, whose feud with a Roman friend nearly destroys them. An extremely emotional story against the backdrop of the birth and crucifixion of Jesus Christ is one of the greatest epics ever filmed. The chariot race is one of the most impressive and longest action pieces I've ever seen! That sequence alone takes the film out of the realm of greatness into an outstanding piece of visual cinema!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - The Best.
Whenever you hear the phrase "of epic proportions", you think of Ben-Hur. Everything about it is epic, from the soundtrack, to the sets, to the costumes to the excellent acting from every single character. Bottom line, it is by far the greatest movie ever made. I won't say any more because I don't want to ruin it for anyone who has not yet seen this wonderful masterpiece.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - The essence of well-done cinema
The very definition of an epic film. Grand, sweeping, yet intelligent, touching and intricate. Exquisite acting performances by Heston and Boyd; lush sets; impressive music. A timeless classic.

The on-board menus, entertainment and lecture program will be geared to British tastes and the currency will be sterling. Queen Victoria will fly the red ensign; she will have the name of her home port, Southampton, on her stern, and she will have a British Captain and Officers.   In design terms the cruise Cunard Queen Victoria will have an undeniably British feel with two British design teams being responsible for the interior of the Cunard Queen Victoria.

Queen Victoria is being built at Italy’s Fincantieri shipyard in Marghera, near Venice, with her keel laid on July 12, 2003. One of the most technically advanced shipbuilders in the world, Fincantieri has built more than 7,000 vessels, including many for Cunard’s parent Carnival Corporation. Originally ordered as the fifth in a series of five 'Vista' class ships for sister company Holland America, the contact was signed over to Cunard before the keel was laid and Holland America then ordered a further ship for delivery  in 2006.   Enjoy a Cruise on Queen Victoria.  The lead ship in the series, Zuiderdam, entered service in December 2002.

No cruise schedules have yet been announced. Her float out is scheduled for May 2007, prior to her delivery in March 2008.She is scheduled to enter service in April 2008.
