Well, this has got to be a rarity. I already have the scope feature, but this is a curiosity, to be sure. I wonder what the level of reddishness is on the print?

Osi, This looks like the Ken Films or Red Fox release. I would go with the Ken option looking at the box. My "The Dirty Dozen" came in one like it, I think they were for 7" signing records.

I did have a copy ofthe 8x400' (two actually, the first was water
damaged from the seller) and the colour and print were very
good.

The only problem with this edition of the feature is that it is abridged. The most annoying cut is the complete removal of the opening nativity scene which sort of ruins this version for me.

I agree there Paul, especially as it does say in the credits " A Tale
of The Christ",which was a big miss, as both the stories of Judah
Ben Hur coincide with Jesus,Which was a sad omission.
