Abstract:
For sheer pageantry and spectacle, few motion pictures can claim to equal the splendour of Cecil B. DeMille's 1956 remake of his epic. 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, once favoured in the Pharaoh's household, who turned his back on a privileged life to lead his people to freedom. With a rare on-screen introduction by Cecil B. DeMille himself.
