Some parts of Ben Hur (USA 1925, Fred Niblo) were originally shot on Technicolor No. II and combined with tinted, toned and black-and-white scenes.
Later copies were printed in two-color dye-transfer Technicolor No. III, three-strip Technicolor No. IV, and on various chromogenic stocks. Photographs of four different prints of Ben Hur (1925) are now available online.
