Ben Hur

[dean1700]

I've got the 4 disc DVD special edition of this classic and I want to know whether or not I should upgrade to BD.

And does it have the isolated Miklos Rozsa score as it states on the coverslip or is it like the 4 disc set and, while it states it, it isn't included?

Hi Dean1700, the isolated music track is present on the Australian release. Confirmed it now. It is available for selection through the Special Features options.

As for whether or not it's worth an upgrade, if you need any convincing checking out the comparisons here should do the trick:

Thanks, LordCrumb. That's good to know but it's a shame it wasn't on the R4 4 disc DVD as mentioned.
