THE TEN COMMANDMENTS (1956)

Billed upon release as “The Greatest Event in Motion Picture History!” Charlton Heston’s iconic, star-making role as Moses in Cecil B. DeMille’s Technicolor remake of his 1923 silent-era hit remains a cultural touchstone, as does the then-cutting edge, still ingenious special effect where he parts the Red Sea (which won an Oscar® for effects whiz John P. Fulton, the only win of the film’s seven nominations). See it on the big screen, the way it was meant to be seen! DIR/PROD Cecil B. DeMille; SCR Aeneas MacKenzie, Jesse Lasky Jr., Jack Gariss, Fredric M. Frank, from the novels “The Pillar of Fire” by J.H. Ingraham, “On Eagle’s Wings” by A.E. Southon and “Prince of Egypt” by Dorothy Clarke Wilson. U.S., 1956, color, 232 min., including a 15-min. intermission. RATED G
