While heralding "Ben Hur" as "the biggest movie spectacle since Intolerance", Classics of the Silent Screen, published by author Joe Franlkin in 1959 notes that its two large scale production scenes take place during the first half of the film, too early in the narrative in regard to audience interest and reception, "Part two not only moved slowly but had no spectacular action highlights." The actual chatiot race takes place after an hour and a half of film, but there is in fact another hour left to the complete film. Classics of the Silent Screen claimed the film trailed off to follow an incidental character with leprosy. Starring in the film with Romon Navarro were actresses Kathleen Kay, Betty Bronson, Myrna Loy and Colleen Moore. Silent Film Ben Hur

Ben Hur Director Fred Niblo brought the running length of the silent film to twelve reels with the 1925 film "Ben Hur" bringing the adjective "epic" to the historiography of genre theory during the development of "religious drama", subtitling the film "A Tale of Christ". Hollywood was notorious for not allowing films to be made with visual images of the historical Jesus so as not to perturb religious organizations and delegated Ancient Civilizations to sensational, if not tawdry exploitation, archeologists falling in love in the film .Made for Love. Paul Rotha, in his volume Film Til Now deigned "Ben Hur" to be "the spectaces of spectacles" but only after deriding Cecil B De Mille as a "psuedo-artist" who could be watched with curiousity but not sincerity, DeMille having a "flair for the spectacular and tremendous."
