CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Moses (
Charlton Heston) brings the
Ten Commandments from the mountain only to find his people worshipping an idol.
FILM DESCRIPTION:
Based on the
Holy Scriptures, with additional dialogue by several other hands, The Ten Commandments was the last film directed by
Cecil B. DeMille. The story relates the life of Moses, from the time he was discovered in the bullrushes as an infant by the pharoah's daughter, to his long, hard struggle to free the
Hebrews from their slavery at the hands of the
Egyptians. Moses (Charlton Heston) starts out "in solid" as
Pharoah's adopted son (and a whiz at designing pyramids, dispensing such construction-site advice as "
Blood makes poor mortar"), but when he discovers his true
Hebrew heritage, he attempts to make life easier for his people.
Banished by his jealous half-brother
Rameses (
Yul Brynner), Moses returns fully bearded to Pharoah's court, warning that he's had a message from God and that the Egyptians had better free the Hebrews post-haste if they know what's good for them. Only after the
Deadly Plagues have decimated
Egypt does Rameses give in. As the Hebrews reach the
Red Sea, they discover that Rameses has gone back on his word and plans to have them all killed. But Moses rescues his people with a little
Divine legerdemain by parting the Seas.
Later, Moses is again confronted by God on
Mt. Sinai, who delivers unto him the Ten Commandments.
Meanwhile, the Hebrews, led by the duplicitous
Dathan (
Edward G. Robinson), are forgetting their religion and behaving like libertines. "Where's your Moses now?" brays Dathan in the manner of a
Lower East Side gangster. He soon finds out. DeMille's The Ten Commandments may not be the most subtle and sophisticated entertainment ever concocted, but it tells its story with a clarity and vitality that few
Biblical scholars have ever been able to duplicate. It is very likely the most eventful 219 minutes ever recorded to film--and who's to say that Nefertiri (
Anne Baxter) didn't make speeches like, "Oh, Moses, Moses, you splendid, stubborn, adorable fool"?
