"Less than VHS video quality"
This DVD is less than VHS picture quality. Paramout have cheated us on this transfer to DVD. The picture quality is extremely poor, my laser disc copy is light years ahead.
Do not waste your time, stay with your VHS until the studios can offer a better print. A film like this should really be of Blue Ray quality.
Shame on you Paramount, Oh sorry, you do not have any shame.

"Still waiting"
I can't really review this product as I still have not received it. It was shipped Nov 21, one month ago. I have tried to contact you about this order but can't seem to get through. So, cancell the entire order and credit my account.

"The Greatest Film Ever Made"
Life is full of spice when there is drama involved. This world would have been such a boring place if Lucifer had not rebelled. Drama fills up the blanks in life where the balance of good and evil aligns to make this universe interesting. So is the case with a good play or a film. All the ingredients that make this the greatest film of all times are painted into this canvas by the master painter, Cecil.B.DeMille. This was his last work and in 1956 he gave the world a film carved out of not so well known passages on the life and times of Moses and the deliverance of the Ten Commandments. There are scenes in the film that remain with you till eternity. The opening shot of the innumerable Jewish slaves working on the busts, columns and pillars during Pharaoh Sethi's regime with a dark red painted on the big Cinevista 65 lens making you gasp at such an early stage. The editing is superb. Each scene fills its part. When Moses is driven out and spends forty days in the wilderness of Sinai, the photography is awesome. The red and orange flames on the Mount Sinai when Moses first encounters the mountain are superb. The burning bush is craftsmanship at its best without the techno supports of the modern age. the scenes of the plagues in Egypt with the Nile turning red and culminating with the descent of the hand of death on the Passover day from the dark blue night sky and clouds are without a parallel even after 52 years. What do you say then about the parting of the Red Sea? This has to be the greatest scene filmed ever and without computer graphics, too. My God! Finally the scenes of the Ten Commandments being written on stone with fire and lightning from the sky ("written with the fingers of God Himself"!) on Mount Sinai together with the abrupt arrival of Moses during the lascivious revelry under the mount leave you breathless. Charlton Heston as Moses is absolutely divine and you just can't say that he is not Moses there. Yul Brynner is Ramases II in the flesh. I don't think anyone else would have carried out that role as he did. Sir Cedric Hardwicke is superb as Sethi. Anne Baxter as Nefretiri is gorgeous. She enjoys the role to the hilt. A lovely cameo by Vincent Price as Baka the Master Builder. Edward.G.Robinson is excellent as Dathan the overseer. John Derek is effective as Joshua. Debra Paget as the water girl Lilia is admirable. The entire film's drama is bound and woven into a fine texture by Elmer Bernstein with his superb symphonic score. The regal theme of Moses and deliverance remains fresh in my mind even today. Drama doesn't get bigger than this.There are films being made after this; tons of them; yet, this remains the film to beat with William Wyler's Ben Hur coming real close.

"Timeless Classic"
One of the most well acted, well directed and greatest stories ever told. It transends generations. I've watched this movie every Easter since I can remember, and now my children carry on the tradition. This is one to add to the collection.

"Great Film", The Ten Commandments (50th Anniversary Collection) (1956) Starring: Charlton Heston, Yul Brynner Director: Cecil B. DeMille. What more can be said about this great movie. Charlton Heston was great as Moses ,Yul Brynner was great as the Pharaoh and Cecil B. DeMille was a great director.
If you are interested in the hope of God I suggest you read a great book entitled "The Enlightenment, What God Told Me After One Million Prayers: A Message for Everyone," by John H. Eagan. It brought me to tears.


"Great Movie ", The Ten Commandments (50th Anniversary Collection) (1956) Starring: Charlton Heston, is one great movie. Heston was great as Moses and Yul Brynner was great as Pharroh. Beautifully done by film director Cecil B. DeMill . A sheer spectacle for the eyes and ears.
If you're so inclined, I found this beautiful new book about Jesus, faith, God and what we will do in the after-life entitled "The Enlightenment, What God Told Me After One Million Prayers: A Message for Everyone," by John H. Eagan. I just finished it. It's really great and deals with God, the creator, Jesus' teachings, and His Passion to the last detail. It brought me to tears. I think you will really enjoy The Enlightenment



"Ten Commandments", Excellent product. (RECOMMENDED FOR ALL.)This move help a person have a better understanding of the Bible. Prompt delivery.

"Review of The Ten Commandments", Have always wanted to own this movie. Now that I have it, I can watch it any time I want and show it to my grandchildren. A great movie. I received it in very good condition with no shipping problems.

"Holiday Tradition", This version of the movie is wonderful. It truly shows the masterpiece of a movie that Cecile B Demile created. It was a tough choice between the two great actors to decide who has done a finer performance and I had to settle on Yul Brynner as my personal best. Of course Charlton is wonderful, however Yul does his Rameses bit with such conviction, that history comes alive in my eyes. This is a must have to any decent DVD collection!

"Old testament mumbo jumbo", Except for Yul Brynner's performance, costumes and attire, the rest of the movie is Old Testament religious propaganda. The movie is a slap in the face of the ancient Egyptians (of the New kingdom in the 18th & 19th dynasties) face. Moses never led the Hebrews from Egypt. He drove them out with the rest of the Hyksos invaders in 1570 BC. I'm surprised that more people don't question the Old Testament Megalomania. Is there a way to vote zero stars?

"The Ten Commanments 1956 stands the test of time", This is exactly the kind of movie we need more of. But, I know that will never happen, not in America. Starring Yul Brenner, Charlton Heston -This is Cecil B. Demile's great, big, wonderful telling of Moses. He was put on the river in a basket before the Egytians could kill him along with all the other Hewbrew children. He was found in a drifting basket my Bithia the Pharoh's sister. She raised him in the palace as her own. One day, he and everybody else found out he was a Hebrew...Woo-hoo! Buy it for the rest of the story. "So let it be written, so let it be done" (You'll understand this line from the movie once you see it) Based on the Old Testament writings with excellent special effects for 1956. I bought this with "The Robe" another classic starring Richard Burton."Were you out there?" (you'll understand this line too when you buy The Robe)

"Great Movie great Price!", The movie arrived on time and in the condition as promised. This set is the ultimate disc set of the movie. Everything you could want and more.

"Still Great After 50 Years", Like most people, I watched "The Ten Commandments" on TV many times over the years while growing up. Many of its scenes are etched in my memory. But in the wake of Charlton Heston's recent death, I decided to have a marathon viewing of his films and watched "Commandments" for the first time since my adolescence. It was interesting to see it now with more mature eyes (and without being interrupted by a million commercials).

Made in 1956, this film launched Heston's career as the star of big historical epics. He is dynamic and powerful as Moses, who grows up believing he is Egyptian royalty, only to discover that he is actually born of a slave. Moses becomes the messenger of God and delivers the Hebrews out of their terrible bondage. The cast is very good, especially Yul Bryner as Rameses and Sir Cedric Hardwicke as Sethi. The script is lyrical and literate, both socially conscious and reverent at the same time. The special effects in the parting of the Red Sea sequence are impressive even today, although some of the other effects (like the "pillar of fire") are animated and look pretty cheesy. However, the scene where the Angel of Death slithers through the city as a slow-moving mist is still chilling.

To modern audiences, the film will seem melodramatic and exaggerated, but that was the intended style. The director, Cecil B. DeMille, got his start making silent movies where the actors needed to overact to convey the emotion of the scene. In fact, the 50th anniversary DVD of "Commandments" includes the 1923 version, also directed by DeMille. In the earlier film, the story of Moses and Rameses is featured only in the prologue, which is then followed by a "modern day" story of two brothers and what happens if a person does not live by God's laws. It's a wonderful time capsule of movie making and it's interesting to compare (and contrast) it to the later film. Despite it's age, the silent version has surprisingly good special effects.

The other extras in the 50th Anniversary set are also good. There is a 40-minute documentary on the making of the film which features interviews with surviving cast members, including Heston. There are also enthusiastic and informative commentaries by Katherine Orrison on both versions of the film. She shares many interesting anecdotes and behind-the-scenes stories, and both are worth a listen.

So if you've never seen "The Ten Commandments," by all means you should. If it's been a while, revisit the grandeur and spectacle of this cinema classic.

"A Bible film even we atheists can like!", In the begining, deMille created a silent film. And it was good. But lo! It lacked color, it lacked sound and it lacked the great Heston. So deMile created "The Ten Commandments" anew, and saw that it was good, said that it was good, and it was... really quite corking, actually.

"The Ten Commandments" really only features said laws towards the end of the movie, but that's ok because as they say, getting there is half the fun. The movie is a spectacle on a grand scale, with huge sets, a cast of literally thousands, location filming in Egypt, beautiful costumes and a 1950's mentality that meant they had to sanitize quite a bit of the actual story.

The tale the movie tells is one known to most people. The Hebrews are living as slaves in Egypt until God tells Moses (Charlton Heston), to go tell the Pharaoh (an amazingly good Yul Brenner), to let his people go. Moses does, Pharaoh tells him to get lost, and plagues happen. Eventually the innocent are murdered and Moses is allowed to take his people into the Promises Land where they will be slaves to God, instead of to Pharaoh.

`course that's just my interpretation of Exodus.

The film is specatcle of the first order, with a huge a-list of Hollywood's finest actors including Heston, Brenner, Vincent Price, Edward G Robinson, Yvone de Carlo and others. All the performances are great, particularly the two leads. Atheist though I am, even I found Heston compelling in his role as Moses.

What's most interesting, though, is some of the side stories to the movie. If you pick up a copy of the DVD, you can hear an audio commentary by a woman (I forget her name, forgive me), who obviously is a believer, as was deMille. What makes that so interesting is hearing her talk about the compromises to the Biblical story that deMille made, and justifying them to herself and the audience!

For example, she points out one scene where Moses is standing next to a black woman. That he had an Ethiopian wife is news to me (apparently I didn't read Exodus close enough), and this movie doesn't really want you to know that he did. All you see is a black woman standing next to Moses and some large black guy standing next to her looking more like a Zulu than an Ethiopian. Of course this was because we didn't want to ruffle the feathers of 1950's society by showing an interracial marriage (though apparently deMille himself was big on civil rights).

Also glossed over, and again something I missed in the Bible, is that due to Moses' stammering, Aaron actually spoke to Pharaoh. I knew he had problems talking, but I'd assumed God had just fixed that. In the movie there's no stammering and no Aaron talking to Pharaoh.

Of course the Biblical facts had to be gussied up a little for the film, in order to make the movie more, well, movie-like. But I find it interesting that people who believe in God would think it's ok to twist the stories they believe in just to make a good movie.

Anyhow, theology aside this is indeed a great film and one worthy of all the adulation it gets!

This DVD is worth every penny. You not only get the movie and the commentary mentioned above, but you also get the fascinating silent film version of the movie! A great buy!
