The Ten Commandments / Samson and Delilah - DVD

Cecil B. DeMille's first rendition of the Ten Commandments was this 1923 silent epic. Divided into two parts, the first half follows the biblical story of the Exodus. From there, we move forwards in time to the story of two modern day brothers. One follows the teachings of the Ten Commandments and lives a fruitful life, while the other does not and reaps the consequences.

This spectacular biblical epic from legendary showman Cecil B. DeMille tells the story of Moses from his infancy to the triumphant moment when he led the Israelites out of captivity in Egypt. The film begins as the pharaoh's daughter (Yvonne de Carlo) discovers the abandoned infant Moses and takes him to the shelter of her family.

Cecil B. DeMille's final film was this grand-scale religious epic starring Charlton Heston as Moses, an adopted Egyptian prince chosen by God to abandon a life of luxury and lead his fellow Israelites out of slavery. The flight from Egypt, the parting of the Red Sea, and Moses' receiving of the Commandments are among this classic film's many highlights. With Edward G. Robinson, Yul Brynner, Anne Baxter, Yvonne de Carlo, and a cast of thousands. 3 3/4 hrs.
