* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: The film's soundtrack has an undisputed five-star rating on Amazon. There's a reason for this. Highlights include [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJu0d02nrlE For Such a Time as This]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1Fyj9ldzcg Unsummoned Before the King]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a28m3wS0Y_8 A Season of Feasting]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BAPGw8nqMgg Esther's Petition]], and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CRMPNFYKQRg Kingdom of Love]].
* SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome:
** 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''."
* WhatCouldHaveBeen: The film's publicity made much of the fact that this was the first time that Creator/PeterOToole and Creator/OmarSharif had been in a movie together since their legendary turn in ''Film/LawrenceOfArabia''-- except that, as several reviewers complained, they shared exactly zero screen time together, playing characters separated by a 400-year TimeSkip. How hard (and how awesome) could it have been to put them back together for real?
