Caught the Ben Hur suite on the TV last night - wish they included the wonderful catharsis music. The Overture/Main Titles/Parade of the Charioteers wasn't enough. Also, Franz Waxman's The Ride of the Cossacks wasn't much of an encore, was it?

Sadly it wasn't much of an encore. The Tom & Jerry segment was a surprising blast. Otherwise a bit of a waste of time. Well, towards the end at least.
