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

Have not viewed the DVD but did see the original movie. If the DVD is as good as the original, it will rate five stars.
The Ten Commandments June 15, 2009

My most remembered film as a child(50 now). I was searching out old classic films I wanted to have in my library, and this was a must. Watching it now was every bit as powerful as it was then(perhaps more so in some ways). I am closing this with a reqote of another review I left for another classic film I purchased in the same way, The Robe.....
Films like this go most unappreciated by younger people, who have been hypnotized by all the new bells & whistles of the new films. It takes a respect for what they did when they had what they had to do it with! And more often than not, even without the bells & whistles, they did a better job then, than the new films do with them now(in my opinion of course).
