1959 film

[mallory]

Does anyone know,  who played number 41 in a 1959 film?

Is this a crossword?

 

If so, we need the answer to 41 first (or even the clue would be helpful) !!!!

Could it be Charlton Heston.My reason for this answer is that after looking up films of 1959,Ben Hur appeared and in the cast list are credits for rowers with numbers(rower No 43,for example),so i'm thinking that CH as BH could have been rower No41.Just a thought

Are we back to 'Stump' again?

Great lateral thinking on the answer though, gluff !

There is a chapter with the title 60 in the novel Ben Hur this was because he was rower number 60 but I don't know his seat number in the film.

Every year there's always one, isn't there? I mean one person whose research skills are such that they've got to ask for the answers to the CAB Christmas Quiz on a Quiz site.

Pretty sure that gluff is right, it was Charlton Heston in Ben Hur
