The Ten Commandments (50th Anniversary Collection) description Legendary silent film director Cecil B. DeMille didn't much alter the way he made movies after sound came in, and this 1956 biblical drama is proof of that. While graced with such 1950s niceties as VistaVision and Technicolor, The Ten Commandments (DeMille had already filmed an earlier version in 1923) has an anachronistic, impassioned style that finds lead actors Charlton Heston and Yul Brynner expressively posing while hundreds of extras writhe either in the presence of God's power or from orgiastic heat. DeMille, as always, plays both sides of the fence as far as sin goes, surrounding Heston's Moses with worshipful music and heavenly special effects while also making the sexy action around the cult of the Golden Calf look like fun. You have to see The Ten Commandments to understand its peculiar resonance as an old-new movie, complete with several still-impressive effects such as the parting of the Red Sea. --Tom Keogh |

| ♥♥♥♥♥ | The Gold Standard! |
| I saw The Ten Commandments as a young child in one of those giant, gilded movie houses with plush seating, huge chandeliers, gold and flocked wall covering, and a giant screen and sound system that put you RIGHT THERE. It was the longest movie I'd ever seen in my life, and I never wanted it to end.
The Ten Commandments set the standard for Biblical epics -- and epics of any description. If you've already seen it, you know you must add the DVD to your collection. If you've never seen it... Well, what are you waiting for? The time is now! A classic film of astounding quality! |
