- Awesome Music: The film's soundtrack has an undisputed five-star rating on Amazon. There's a reason for this. Highlights include For Such a Time as This, Unsummoned Before the King, A Season of Feasting, Esther's Petition, and Kingdom of Love.
- Moment of Awesome:
- Xerxes saving Esther from being choked to death by Haman. "Would he also assault the queen, my wife, while I am in my house?"
- Five words: "Not Esther, my lord. Hadassah."
- What Could Have Been: The film's publicity made much of the fact that this was the first time that Peter O'Toole and Omar Sharif had been in a movie together since their legendary turn in Lawrence of Arabia— except that, as several reviewers complained, they shared exactly zero screen time together, playing characters separated by a 400-year Time Skip. How hard (and how awesome) could it have been to put them back together for real?
