EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the iconic silent film "BEN HUR, 1926" transports us back to the early days of cinema. The image features Francis X. Bushman in his role as Messala, a charioteer, during the climactic chariot race scene. Set against the backdrop of ancient Rome, this still captures a pivotal moment in cinematic history. The intensity on Bushman's face is palpable as he skillfully maneuvers his horse-drawn chariot through the treacherous track. His determination and strength are evident as he competes for victory in this thrilling race that captivated audiences nearly a century ago. As we gaze upon this silent movie still, we can't help but marvel at the artistry and craftsmanship that went into creating such an epic spectacle without any dialogue or sound effects. It serves as a testament to the power of visual storytelling and reminds us of how far filmmaking has come since then. This print not only immortalizes Francis X. Bushman's portrayal of Messala but also pays homage to an era when silent films reigned supreme and transported viewers to distant worlds like ancient Rome. It is a true treasure from The Granger Collection that allows us to appreciate both the beauty of early cinema and its enduring impact on our cultural heritage.
