The Man Who Saved Ben-Hur (2016) Director: Joe Forte Writers: Joe Forte Stars: John Alarimo, Joe Forte, Arthur Hiller Genre: Documentary Country: United States Language: English Release Date: July 26, 2016 (United States)
Synopsis: The Man Who Saved Ben-Hur explores my relationship with my 89-year old second cousin, Johnny Alarimo, at the end of his life. A charismatic loner, Johnny spent a dazzling career behind the scenes in show business without never forming any lasting relationships. Destine to die that way, the film is a subtle dance between a subject who wants to control his legacy, and a filmmaker/family-member who simply wants to know him.
Reviews: "This is an odd documentary about an odd man, but I found it engrossing and touching. I was disappointed when it was over-but only because I wanted it to continue." - written by "mmwea" on IMDb.com
"An unexpectedly intimate portrayal of life comprised as a series of almosts. John Rimo is Hollywood. He is marvelous, and fantastic and secretive and he is fleeting." - written by "mmwea" on letterboxd.com
