ESTRENO DE BEN HUR Resultó ser un Fracaso total. Ben-Hur es una película estadounidense de 1959 de los géneros épico y dramático ambientada mayormente en la provincia romana de Judea en tiempos del emperador Tiberio. Fue dirigida por William Wyler y producida por Sam Zimbalist para Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. Sus papeles principales los interpretan Charlton Heston, Stephen Boyd, Jack Hawkins, Hugh Griffith y Haya Harareet.

The video shows the birth of Jesus Christ. A portion of the video (00:28 - 03:39 min) used a bit from the motion picture "Ben-Hur", the 1959 American epic historical drama film, directed by William Wyler, produced by Sam Zimbalist for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and starring Charlton Heston as the title character. The film score was composed and conducted by Miklós Rózsa. Ben-Hur was adapted from Lew Wallace's 1880 novel Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ. It is considered as one of the greatest films ever made for being a "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant" motion picture.

Mervyn Le Roy directed Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo and Sam Zimbalist produced the film. The screenplay by Dalton Trumbo was based on the 1943 book of the same name, written by Captain Ted W. Lawson, a pilot who participated in the raid. In both the book and the film, Lawson gives an eyewitness account of the training, the mission, and the aftermath as experienced by his crew and others who flew the mission on April 18, 1942. Lawson piloted "The Ruptured Duck", the seventh of 16 B-25s to take off from the aircraft carrier USS Hornet ak...

ELVIS E A RAINHA DA BELEZA ( ELVIS AND THE BEAUTY QUEEN ), FILME PARA TV, LANÇADO EM 1981!!!!! STEPHANIE ZIMBALIST É A QUERIDA LINDA THOMPSON E DON JOHNSON ( MIAMI VICE ) INTERPRETA ELVIS!!!!! BOM, O FILME CONTA TODA HISTÓRIA DO ROMANCE ENTRE O REI DO ROCK ELVIS PRESLEY E A ENTÃO MISS TENNESSEE LINDA THOMPSON!!!!! COMO UMA BOA PARTE DE FILMES QUE SÃO FEITOS PARA TV, ESTA PRODUÇÃO NÃO É LÁ AQUELAS COISAS. ACHO SINCERAMENTE QUE ELES PODERIAM TER FEITO UMA PRODUÇÃO MELHOR. MAS COMO NARRATIVA É MUITO INTERESSANTE, UMA VEZ QUE O FILME RETRATA O RELACIONAMENTO DO PONTO DE VISTA DA LINDA THOMPSON.

SINOPSE: ELVIS E A RAINHA DA BELEZA - 1981 Outro filme para a TV contando o romance que Elvis teve com LindaThompson . Don Johnson faz o papel de Elvis nos anos 70. A história é até interessante, o problema é ver Don dançando e escutar "Separate Ways" ao vivo, o que nunca aconteceu de fato com Elvis. Direção:Gus Trikonis, CBS TV, produção de 1981 Linda Thompson foi Miss Tennessee, fato que facilitou sua aproximação com Elvis em 1972. Era a Rainha da Beleza e o Rei do Rock que novamente era o centro das atenções após seu grande retorno aos shows! Elvis estava separado de Priscilla e não havia nenhuma namorada "fixa" naquele momento! O primeiro encontro foi num cinema que foi reservado somente para Elvis e sua equipe! Era um lugar até simples para ser freqüentado por um grande ídolo como El...
