Quote:Another annoying facet was the fact all the Romans seemed to have (admittedly soft) American accents! Perhaps this was deliberate? However, understanding that some of the cast were Yanks it perhaps becomes understandable - but Mark Strong is not.
Ben Hur (1959) was also American versus English but the other way round. The Romans were English and, if memory serves me right, everyone else (apart from Balthasar) were American actors.
