Six Sheet (80" x 79") ; The Collection of the Late J. Stephen Ryan
Very Fine- Folded
MGM, 1959

Printed on four panels and folded, this six sheet displays general fold wear with cross-fold separation. One of the smaller bottom two panels shows nicks, chips, and light paper loss along the upper edge and on the right edge of the lower-left panel (indicative of sections being joined).

"Ben-Hur" is a religious epic directed by William Wyler, starring Charlton Heston. At the time, it was the most expensive film ever made, featuring massive sets, thousands of costumes, over 10,000 extras, and hundreds of animals. Filmed in Italy and at MGM, it includes the legendary nine-minute chariot race and Miklos Rozsa's then-longest film score.

Estimate: $400 - 800
