Ramon Novarro, who plays the part of Ben-Hur, is a sturdy, handsome young chap, with an excellent figure. His performance is all that one could wish, for he is fervent and earnest throughout.

Ben Hur is a picture for all times. No matter what happens to others, Ben Hur will remain, as the Bible remains.

The part of Ben Hur Is magnificently played by Ramon Navarro. In his hands the character shows a gradual and logical development, beginning with Judah's boyish bearing in the streets of Jerusalem, adopting a harder tone [as the film progresses].

It is, without a doubt, a very exciting biblical epic. [Full review in Spanish]
