This ten minute featurette from 1956 serves as an extended preview of Cecil B. DeMille’s forthcoming epic drama “The Ten Commandments,” narrated by DeMille himself. The director takes us on a tour of the life of Moses, illustrated with clips of the film and works of classical art.
Cecil Blount DeMille (1881 - 1959) was an American film director and producer. Between 1914 and 1958, he made 70 features, both silent and sound films. He is acknowledged as a founding father of the American cinema and the most commercially successful producer-director in film history. His films were distinguished by their epic scale and by his cinematic showmanship.
“The Ten Commandments” is a 1956 American epic religious drama film produced, directed, and narrated by DeMille. The film dramatizes the biblical story of the life of Moses, an adopted Egyptian prince who becomes the deliverer of his real brethren, the enslaved Hebrews, and thereafter leads the Exodus to Mount Sinai, where he receives, from God, the Ten Commandments. Filmed on location in Egypt, Mount Sinai, and the Sinai Peninsula, the film was DeMille's last and most successful work. It is a partial remake of his 1923 silent film of the same title, and features one of the largest sets ever created for a film. The film was released to cinemas in the United States on November 8, 1956, and, at the time of its release, was the most expensive film ever made.

This was awesome! I LOVE “The Ten Commandments” … though was always confused why TV stations broadcast it around Easter. 😊 Until I realized that the timing of Passover usually corresponds with Easter. Just a brilliant production. Thank you so much for posting this piece by Cecil B. DeMille himself!
Glad you found it. A great documentary to watch -- if you like this history -- is "The Lost City of Cecil B. DeMille." Love our channel? Help us save and post more orphaned films! Support us on Patreon: www.patreon.com/PeriscopeFilm Even a really tiny contribution can make a difference.
I remember seeing the movie when I was very young. I still remember some details about it and I was thrilled by the spectacle.
Impressive and moving.
That was funny on so many levels! :D
….Karen is Hebrew for horn?.
This is very interesting...thanku for posting!
His accent is so refined and perfect
He really loves his work.
What a great movie the ten Commandments was it had a great all star cast the movie was based on the book of Josephus and the holy scriptures also i like this documentary of the making of the Ten Commandments hosted by Cecil B DeMille
All this can be found in the book of Exodus ,second book of the old testament
Well, no, not really. As Mr. deMille tells us in this video, the movie attempts to fill in detail that is left to question in _Exodus_ , and at least in part relies on non-Biblical texts to do so. The rest is pure Hollywood imagination.

Question: which of the ten commandments, said to worship on Sunday, the first day of the week!?
The following is the *type* in the typology of the end time greater future reality.
And Pharaoh said, Behold, the people of the land now are many, and ye make them *rest* from their burdens.
{Exodus 5:5}
[Rest] H7673 shâbath
It's called the sabbath day, because in it we are to rest from *our* work, and worship him who made the heaven, and the earth, and the seas, and the fountains of water.
...
And Pharaoh commanded the same day the taskmasters of the people, and their officers, saying,
Ye shall no more give the people straw to make brick, as heretofore: let them go and gather straw for themselves.
And the tale of the bricks, which they did make heretofore, ye shall lay upon them; ye shall not diminish ought thereof: for they be idle;👈 therefore they cry, saying, Let us go and sacrifice to our God.
Let there *more* work be laid upon the men, that they may labour therein; and let them not regard vain words.
{Exodus 5:6-9}
The mark of the beast will be a choice between Gods law, or mans law.
Prohibited to rest on the seventh day sabbath of our Lord and in favor of the spurious sabbath day of Sunday.
Yom Rishom 1 day Sunday that's why we do Saturday the 7th Shabbat.
The Roman church changed to Sunday under Constantine era.
Is there anything to be read into the fact that Cecil gives everyone a shoutout apart from Heston?
Batters, he does -- and quite fittingly so. Check out the early part, around 1:26, where DeMille shows Heston beholding, and actually touching, the Michelangelo statue of Moses.
You missed all that? Watch it again.
Take these two tablets and call me in the morning.
Not bad. It took me a second...
...and he still makes house calls.

And he said, The LORD came --from-- to (point C, south) Sinai, (in Arabia) and rose up from Seir [Edom] (point A, north) unto them; he shined forth from mount Paran, (point B, in between) and he came with ten thousands of saints: from his right hand went a fiery law for them.

Josephus lived several thousand years after the era Moses was supposed to live. Claiming that Josephus can tell us about Moses' life (which was almost certainly mythological), is like citing a 20th century historian, as great primary evidence, for the life of Alexander the Great.
Yes, exactly. We should not pretend that _The Ten Commandments_ is more than a Hollywood dramatization. Sadly many if not most Americans accept this as if true to Biblical text, having never read the book.
You forget that DeMille previously filmed Moses' story in 1923. But only the FIRST part of that movie is concerned with him and the Hebrews leaving Egypt, receving the tablets and ending with those perishing who worshipped the "Golden Calf". The *second* part is a modern [for 1923] parallel story about two brothers- one religious, the other an evil atheist- in love with the same woman, and how the Ten Commandments affected them and those around them.
The Eleventh Commandment……Thou shalt not be a Karen.
Unfortunately, the whole Exodus narrative is considered myth by most historians. No mention of it at all in Egyptian written records. No evidence at all of any large group of people wondering around the Sinai during this period. Even the existence of Moses himself is questionable.
Thanks, you saved me a bunch of typing!
Read Exodus ,second book of the old testament
@@jimmyp6443 I have. It was very entertaining.
Why "unfortunately"? If, like Jesus repeatedly says we should, we still lived by the laws that (according to the bible) Yahweh handed down to Moses, you'd be required to kill anyone who worked on Saturday or got a divorce, we'd be stoning kids to death every time they disobeyed their parents, while slave-owning and beating those slaves would be A-OK (in fact, the god that Christians and Jews worship gives clear, direct instruction on the "moral" way to sell your own daughter into slavery, in Exodus 21; 7).
Anyone who thinks the bible gives good moral guidance, should go live under the Taliban or Islamic State, since their laws are far, far more biblically-correct, than any civilised, majority-Christian nation on earth, in the last few centuries.
Son of Belial, some of us are destined to serve the Lord of Heaven as adversaries on this earth for reason we cannot fully understand. If nothing else, to serve to bring prophecy into fulfillment. Even the devils know the TRUTH, but truth is not in them and they cry out and flee at the call of His Holy name.
