The Wesley Fair fundraiser this year seeks to raise funds "For young people living in out of home care..... Wesley Take Charge of Your Life was developed in

Ben Hur 1925 • 143 minutes USA
Ben Hur is the epic of American silent films
AFI describes it as the "biggest and most dazzling thing anyone had ever seen, with its jaw- dropping special effects, enormous action sequences, death-defying stunts, glorious two-strip Technicolor and a six digit cast of extras. It was the most expensive movie ever made, coming in at just under $4 million…..
The color sequences are nothing short of spectacular never seen two-strip Technicolor produce shades of blue (albeit blue-green) or realistic flesh tones…"
The TCM site proclaims,
"The great decade of the progress of motion picture art reaches its summit! A cast of 125,000!" read the advertising tag-line for MGM's silent epic Ben-Hur (1925).
The final production cost of Ben-Hur was $3.9 million, a fortune in 1925. The film was a sensation with audiences and grossed $9,386,000, but royalties and distribution costs were so high that MGM came up $850,000 short. The prestige the film brought to the new studio, however, left its executives feeling that Ben-Hur was well worth it. More than any other single production, this film laid the foundation for the studio's reputation as the producer of elite entertainment. The Oscar-winning remake of Ben-Hur (1959) would herald the end of MGM's Golden Era, just as this silent version had begun it."
