Swing low, sweet chariots: The chariot race in this 1959 biblical epic is indeed epic, and when TCM televises it, it does so in the proper dimensions (shown here), so you can see each frame as intended by director William Wyler. And watch this Charlton Heston vehicle (so to speak) carefully, because on Thursday, TCM presents the 1925 silent version, Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ.
