Re: Aspect ratio.
Standard Cinemascope is 2:35/1,
Panavision (virtually the same as HDTV) is 1.85/1.
Ben Hur was over 3/1 and was correct on my Laserdisc. It was a bit like watching an image through a knight's visor.
The figure of 1.76/1 is a mystery to me.Re: Stunt men
Rumours were rife diring the filming that another stunt man was actually killed (he died later in hospital). No one wanted to do a retake on the race.I actually saw the original theatrical release in 70 MM at the Warner Theatre in DC. Huge screen and surround sound (the horses in the race circled 'round behind the audience). How many theatres were equiped to reproduce this effect I dunno.
