Ben Hur - 8 x 400ft

[John Halfacre]

Hi folks

Does anyone know who released the 8 x 400ft flat print of Ben Hur on Poly stock. I know Derann did an 8 x 600 and Kempski did a 16 x 400

Thanks

Derann sold Ben Hur as poly stock on 400 reels as well John.

I think the 8 x 400 was a Ken print, released by Derann. It’s slightly edited, removing the Bethlehem prologue I think.

From the 1990 Derann catalogue (via derannvaults.uk)

There is approximately 50 minutes edited from it. Ironically, it flows much better and is more repeatable than full feature. You can get too much of a good thing.
