Additional Notes
After appearing two years earlier as Moses, Charlton Heston was again cast in a role of a wealthy prince who eventually rejects his Roman citizenship. The role did prove to be more physical and Heston had to learn to drive a chariot. The garment was worn in scenes in which Jack Hawkins adopts Heston as his son.
Ben Hur had the largest budget for any film up until that time and costume designer, Elizabeth Haffenden. oversaw 100 costume makers to make the costumes. The film received the Academy Award for Best Costume Design Color.
