Christ I've been looking for this song for ages. Just heard it used at a show, don't think I've even seen this film.

@23spacecase Nobody died, or was even seriously injured, it was in the 1920 version that a stuntman was killed, he tripped and fell against a stationary chariot, it is not in the film.

I remember seeing this movie when it first came out in '59. The screen was very wide and the theater speaker system took it all in. I was in the middle rows and you were like right there in the movie scenery. I was on the edge of my seat from tthe opening to the end of that Chariot Race. The ending was powerful and when the Oscars came around, I wasn't surprised when it took that many Oscar awards. Tremendous movie.

Milkos Rozsa really was able to put the sweep of this epic Tale of The Christ into his music! I listened to the soundtrack of this film every day for years as a young boy.

★ローマのセンチュリオン、メッサーラが、古代ギリシャの戦いの­神、マルスの化身ならば、アラビアのサラブレッドにまたがるジュ­ダは、放浪の民、ヤコブの子孫を代表する戦士。　この対決は、単なるライバル同士の私闘という意味を超え、ローマ­とユダヤ教の精神的な戦いの決着をつけるものでもあった。　そして、この戦いの後、ジュダは争いのむなしさを味わい、物語の­真のテーマ、キリストの自己犠牲によって、『自由と博愛』に完結­していく。　派手なシーンとか、いくら映画に使ったみたいな俗な事ばかりが語­られがちな映画ですが、やはりそういう所をキチンと理解しなきゃ­ね。

Kudos to oldcorps76 for the Respighi shout-out. Romantic classics are marvelous inspiration for film scores, something understood by Rosza, and Korngold, and Newman, and John Williams, and latterly by composers like Bruce Broughton and Hans Zimmer. So much of what thrills us in compositions like these will be thrilling music lovers hundreds of years from now.
