VCR at the 1959 Oscars Presents: Ben-Hur

Welcome to part one of our 1959 Oscars Series, where we explore one of the most celebrated films of all time, the 1959 Biblical Epic Ben-Hur. In the second Charlton Heston movie we've covered, Judah Ben-Hur goes on an epic journey of revenge against a childhood friend turned mortal enemy. Dominating the Oscars in 1959, this film stands as one of the most awarded films of all time. Join us for part two where we compare Ben-Hur to another famous movie from the 1959 Oscars season.

 

As a side note, sorry for the poorer audio quality. As new podcasters we're still trying to work out all the kinks!
