Review of The Ten Commandments (1956) by Danny D — 12 Jul 2008
A grand epic in every measure. there were problems with this film, demille told more of the parts to the story that are less sure than he did the parts that are recorded in Scripture, the actors hammed it up a little too much, and the melo drama took a greater role than the plagues.
but the film was highly reverential, the sets, costumes, and cinematography were excellent, and the effects were great for a film in the late 50's. all in all, despite the story changes and innaccuracies, this is great story telling and an overall wonderful film.
