For sheer pageantry and spectacle, few motion pictures can claim to equal the splendor of Cecil B DeMille's 1956 remake of his epic The Ten Commandments.  Filmed in Egypt and the Sinai with one of the biggest sets ever constructed for a motion picture, this version tells the story of the life of Moses (Charlton Heston), once favoured in the Pharaoh's (Yul Brynner) household, who turned his back on a privileged life to lead his people to freedom.

This classic screen epic, winner of the 1956 Academy Award for Best Special Effects and nominated for 6 others including Best Picture also features a rare on-screen introduction by Cecil B DeMille himself.
