Cecil B DeMille's 'The Ten Commandments' (DVD)

Cinema as spectacle. 1956 American epic film produced, directed, and narrated by Cecil B. DeMille, shot in VistaVision (color by Technicolor). It dramatises the story of the life of Moses, an adopted Egyptian prince who becomes the deliverer of his real brethren, the enslaved Hebrews, and thereafter leads the Exodus to Mount Sinai, where he receives, from God, the Ten Commandments. The film stars Charlton Heston and Yul Brynner.

The Ten Commandments is an epic of its era with its cast of thousands approach, theatricality, colour and epic acting. Martin Scorsese has cited this as one of his favourite films and Metallica were inspired to write the lyrics of Creeping Death after seeing it.

A blockbuster, only Gone with the Wind (1939), Avatar (2009), Star Wars (1977), Titanic (1997), The Sound of Music (1965), and E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982) have generated higher grosses.
