This week we are discussing the 1959 film Ben Hur starring Charlton Heston. But first, we have a lot to say about libraries and how much we love them. Then we get to talk about this epic film filled with stars, over 300 speaking roles, and 10,000 extras. Elizabeth Haffenden had her hands full with these costumes. Good thing they gave her the Oscar. Also, if anyone knows all about 18 karat boullion trim, please get in touch; Coleen has questions :)You can see more images of this costume costumesofhollywood.comFor more info and updates, follow us on Instagram @costumesofhollywoodYou can buy The Costumes of Hollywood book at Routledge, Taylor & Francis, or most places books are sold.Original theme song composed and arranged by James Scott and Vincent Ju.
