I have an 1880 edition...the1959 movie is pretty close to the book...but, the movie would've been 2 hours longer if it had followed the book verbatim!!

Player #4047702, “very well” is an understatement! Chuck was AMAZING in that! All of that movie is fantastic! Sets, costumes, music, supporting cast, writing, directing, and the most amazing scene ever filmed: The Chariot Race!
