Product Details of Ten Commandments DVD

Description

This spectacular biblical epic from legendary showman Cecil B. DeMille tells the story of Moses from his infancy to the triumphant moment when he led the Israelites out of captivity in Egypt. The film begins as the pharaoh's daughter (Yvonne De Carlo) discovers the abandoned infant Moses and takes him to the shelter of her family. Charlton Heston stars as the young man raised by the pharaoh as an Egyptian prince. Moses is righteous and kind, the favored successor to the kingdom, which results in the deep-seated jealousy of Prince Rameses (Yul Brynner). Rameses and Moses compete for the throne and the love of the young princess, Nefretiri (Anne Baxter), until Moses learns the truth about his origins and joins the Jewish slaves in their fight for freedom. After receiving the Ten Commandments from God, Moses helps free the Jews from the pharaoh's tyrannical rule, surmounting all obstacles in his way--including the parting of the Red Sea, in one of the movie's most famous scenes. Cecil B. DeMille's extravagant final film--and remake of his silent 1923 version--is a legendary combination of the master showman's love of historical realism, spectacle, lavish scenic design, and dizzying crowd sequences. The exodus alone is a stunning feat of modern cinema, featuring thousands of actors trekking through the arid desert as Pharaoh's chariots chase after them.

Ten Commandments DVD

A film that begs to be viewed on the big screen. And I mean a really big screen! This film was made back when people had faith. I guess that makes it "campy" to todays' crowd. Tells a famous biblical story in the larger-than-life method that Cecille B. DeMille employed many times over in an era of declining box office receipts. I believe it was a big success at the time and attracted a large...

This is an awesome movie, although very dated, which is the only reason I took a star away. For the time, it was awesome, but everytime I see the part where the fire comes down from the sky at the red sea, I have to laugh at the cheesy effects.

Edward G Robinson was still a gangster in this film but a great religious one to watch, especially the parting of the sea........

Ten Commandments DVD

Released in 1956 and directed by Cecil B. DeMille, "The Ten Commandments" is the epitome of big budget, big production films of that era. Charlton Heston plays Moses in his typical epic manner as only he can and is supported by Yul Brynner as Rameses (Pharaoh), Anne Baxter as Nefertiti, and Edward G. Robinson bringing a little gangster flair to the proceedings. The movie takes us through the life...

CastleBee summed it up - not a perfect film, but highly entertaining - E G Robinson and Brynner crack me up every time! Great special effects, though, and a highly entertaining spectacle.

Even worse than Ben-Hur. A waste of film and an embarassment to anyone remotely associated with this abortion.
