i will bet i watch this film 4 or 5 time a year and and will do so more often and now that the hollyweird mogul have see fit to put it on dvd and because it a classic with a capital c. this film be timeless . how can people pay $ 10 . 00 nowadays to see the junk that come out of hollyweird with movie like the egyptian while the ten commandment while ben hur while captain newman md on tape while dvd while and cable movie channel while i could go on forever and but this film be so great and and for a relative unknown and edmund purdom carry the movie like atlas carry the world . the story be wonderful and the acting be first rate and and the graphic at the end be so powerful and you sit in your seat for a few minute and just try to let the word sink in . really a knockout of a film . i would give this one 15 star if they would let me . they do not make them like this anymore and but they should .
