Lomax review: 'Ben-Hur' – Albany Herald

Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

In his 60-year career, actor Charlton Heston starred in a number of iconic films and established his place as one of the greatest movie actors who ever lived. Heston’s role in 1959’s “Ben-Hur” is specifically one of his most famous and enduring, and having watched the latest remake directed by Timur Bekmambetov, the original’s place in history is very much secure.
