For sheer pageantry and spectacle, few motion pictures can claim to equal the splendor of Cecil B. DeMille's 1956 remake of his epic The Ten Commandments. Filmed in Egypt and the Sinai with one of the biggest sets ever constructed for a motion picture, this version tells the story of the life of Moses (Charlton Heston), once favored in the Pharaoh's (Yul Brynner) household, who turned his back on a privileged life to lead his people to freedom. With a rare on-screen introduction by Cecil B. DeMille himself, this unforgettable movie experience is enhanced by a Dolby surround stereo soundtrack.

« THE TEN COMMANDMENTS » I FIRST SAW THIS MOVIE IN 1956, WHEN IT WAS RELEASED. I WAS MESMERIZED. IT WAS THE GREATEST MOVIE I HAVE EVER SEEN UP TO WHEN IT WAS RELEASED. SINE THEN, IT IS STILL THE GREATEST MOVIE I HAVE EVER SEEN. I WOULD LIKE TO SEND COPIES TO FAMILY. HOWEVER, I CAN NOT MAKE COPIES. SO, I HAVE THEM COME TO MY HOUSE AND WATCH IT. I CONSIDER IT THE GREATEST MOVIE I HAVE EVER SEEN. ROBERT A. LESTER .:. Rating: 5 / 5

« Timeless Classic » One of the most well acted, well directed and greatest stories ever told. It transends generations. I've watched this movie every Easter since I can remember, and now my children carry on the tradition. This is one to add to the collection. .:. Rating: 5 / 5

« Old testament mumbo jumbo » Except for Yul Brynner's performance, costumes and attire, the rest of the movie is Old Testament religious propaganda. The movie is a slap in the face of the ancient Egyptians (of the New kingdom in the 18th & 19th dynasties) face. Moses never led the Hebrews from Egypt. He drove them out with the rest of the Hyksos invaders in 1570 BC. I'm surprised that more people don't question the Old Testament Megalomania. Is there a way to vote zero stars? .:. Rating: 1 / 5
