Feast in the brilliance of BEN HUR: A TALE OF CHRIST the most elaborate and expensive silent film ever made, a legendary production, whose costs were overshadowed only by the films box office, over $9 million! Dote on Cecil B. Demille's biblically proportioned KING OF KINGS, which mixes sex and religion, turning the redemption of Mary Magdalene, a high priced courtesan and possible lover of Jesus, into a vamp.
