Letter: Big Ben

Published 9 November 2011

From Ralph Hancock

I was surprised that none of Feedback’s correspondents realised the meaning of “bigger than Ben-Hur” (29 October). It does not refer to the size of the production or the budget, but to the poster for the film, in which the letters BEN-HUR are formed into a mountain-sized block of stone: see bit.ly/ben-hur.
