Review

Charlton Heston: For All Seasons serves as a gentle tribute rather than a comprehensive or probing documentary about the life and career of a controversial screen star. The quality of the DVD transfer is subpar (with occasional rolling / flickering). General audiences may find it fitting as a cursory introduction to this unconventional movie hero... --Educational Media Reviews Online

Product Description

He has been king and slave, hero and villain, renowned throughout the movie-going world for the heroic figures he played during his early years in Hollywood: Moses, Ben-Hur, El Cid and Michaelangelo. In a wide range of roles, from classical to futuristic, he has shown himself a consummate actor. But Charlton Heston has always been more than a star.

Although he is a private man, he has often appeared to be a very public one, willing to speak up on issues he believes in--however controversial they may be. Here, in his own words, is Heston's life as well as highlights of a career that resulted in over 60 motion pictures. The DVD includes scenes from The Greatest Show On Earth, The Ten Commandments, The Big Country, Ben-Hur, Will Penny, Soylent Green, and Planet of the Apes.

4.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful tribute to one of my favorite actors...., April 18, 2008

By	Kenneth M. Pizzi (San Mateo, CA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The recent passing of Charlton Heston this April is a sincere loss for Hollywood. The actor took on characters larger than life and somehow made them accessible to a generation of moviegoers. Moses, Michaelangelo, Andrew Jackson, El Cid, Ben Hur---Heston brought these historical icons to life physically and intellectually--and spoke to the hero in all of us.

Although rather short, this is a fine disc in which to savor Heston's greatest and most unforgettable moments on the screen. All the classics are included here as well as the actor's personal favorite, Tom Gries' "Will Penny," (1968). For fans of the actor, or if you wish to learn more about Hollywood's "greatest generation," this DVD is a celebration of an actor who gave the Hollywood epic stature, fire, and guts.

By	Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews

Janson Media's "Hollywood Collection" series now includes a DVD tribute to Charlton Heston, the star of over sixty movies. Charlton Heston For All Seasons pays homage to Heston's many roles, from king to slave and hero to villain, in classic Hollywood films such as "Moses", "Ben-Hur", "El Cid" and "Michelangelo.
