I envy that print of "Ben Hur" of yours. I have an LPP copy of this from Derann, and my color seems a bit off compared to yours.

Nice looking print, Adam.

This is a movie for bigger gauge, best in 70mm, but maybe 35mm Technicolor is also fine or minimum 16mm IB Tech.
But I think it is worth to keep it in 8mm for the Stereo sound and the price is also nice for this print.
Good luck.

Thanks, guys. It really is a nice print!

Very nice, Adam. Before I buy another 'epically long' film, I'll see what my turnout is with 'Titanic' next month. If my crowd hangs with me the entire time, I'll look into these longer films.

Greg-The chariot race alone is worth the price of admission.

Just a warning, the film will be going up on ebay tomorrow evening. If you are considering purchasing this film please contact me before then!

Larry, no doubt... I had a scope trailer up until recently, and yeah, on the scope screen, pretty impressive.

I can personally vouch that this print can certainly stand on it's own against even a good 16Mm print of ths title in scope. While my print seems to be slightly off on color, (I think it was a slight defect by Derann) it is however, pin sharp and really nice to look upon on the big screen!

The print I have was the Kempski ex library Derann print which is
still better than Deranns own print,which I found to be too
contrasty with no detail in shadows.
