What TV and film directors, writers and producers still work over 70 today besides Steven Spielberg? I would like to know about older women over 70 who work presently especially. Are there seniors who are presidents of film and television companies? Sphinxmystery ( talk) 01:27, 13 April 2018 (UTC)
This review by David Stratton of the 2016 remake of Ben-Hur makes the claim that the expression "Bigger than Ben-Hur" was coined in response to the stage play that ran for over 20 years, from 1899 to 1920, on Broadway and overseas.
I had always assumed the expression was in response to the huge success of the 1959 Charlton Heston film version that won a record 11 Oscars, and everywhere I look on the net I find that assumption confirmed, including Wiktionary (although Wikiquote doesn't seem to cover it at all).
Can anyone dig up where Stratton's information may have come from? -- Jack of Oz [pleasantries] 02:28, 13 April 2018 (UTC)
If a Person is Held hostage in (Sound Proofed Box), then can that Person Hear If the Van is Definitely moving?( 107.77.211.123 ( talk) 18:02, 13 April 2018 (UTC)).
