Ben-Hur (1907) is a short film (15m, B&W, silent) directed by Sidney Olcott.
Abstract
First and very brief adaptation of Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ (1880 Wallace), novel, with the chariot race dominating the footage. It is important in cinema history in that it resulted in the first lawsuit against a motion picture company for the violation of a literary copyright, thus establishing the premise of motion picture rights to books and plays.
Editions
Produced in the United States (1907).
