I dieci comandamenti
Scampato alla strage dei primogeniti ebrei, il piccolo Mosè viene allevato come un vero egiziano, ma quando scopre le sue origini rinuncia a tutto per condividere le sofferenze del suo popolo. Ma solo dopo l'invio delle terribili sette piaghe il faraone accetta di lasciarli partire. Più tardi, pentitosi di aver ceduto, li insegue con il suo esercito, ma viene inghiottito dal Mar Rosso. Mosé, dopo aver ricevuto le tavole della Legge, muore, ormai vecchio, vedendo soltanto da lontano la Terra Promessa. Il film è diventato l'esempio per eccellenza dei kolossal. Particolarmente sontuosi, per l'epoca, gli effetti speciali (premiati con l'Oscar) e l'uso che De Mille fa del Cinemascope.

His God "is" God! The Ten Commandments is at the top end of Hollywood historical epics. It was to be Cecil B. DeMille's last ever directing assignment and he bows out with a gargantuan epic that to this day stands as a testament to his brilliant talent as one of the masters of epic film making. The story cribs from a number of biblical sources, some of which are hokum and not to be taken as …
As good today as in 1956 This film consists of an all star cast and is an amazing movie. The special effects are incredible especially for 1956. The acting is clearly amazing in this account of Moses and the Ten Commandments. 9-10
Until very recently, I had never actually made it all the way through this Cecil B. De Mille marathon. It is a glorious piece of cinema but no amount of beautiful colour and costumes can detract from what is really rather a staid, over-egged production. Sir Cedric Hardwicke helps open the proceedings as Seti, but once he has gone the film loses much of it's class and just becomes a vehicle for Cha…
