Ben Hur on 16mm in c'scope

[Frank Picaro]

I would really like to find a print in this format of my favorite movie. Can anyone help?

In terms of the scope prints, the only ones that would still have color would be the IB anamorphic copies. I believe there were three versions released in IB/Scope. First would be the uncut Roadshow version running three and a half hours. Then there might have been re-issue 1969 prints running two hours and forty five minutes (it's missing the nativity and starts on the credits). There was also an interim three hour version (it contains the nativity prologue). I would make sure you can verify the length of any print before purchasing it.
