Reviews (1)
Historical stories are becoming less and less interesting to me, and this variation of "Ben Hur" really didn't impress me much, not even in the way it tries to be symbolic and show that we can't escape anything. The acting performances are good, but I wouldn't expect anything less from actors like Anthony Quinn.
