About this product

Product Information

This spectacular biblical epic from legendary showman Cecil B. DeMille tells the story of Moses from his infancy to the triumphant moment when he led the Israelites out of captivity in Egypt. The film begins as the pharaoh's daughter (Yvonne De Carlo) discovers the abandoned infant Moses and takes him to the shelter of her family. Charlton Heston stars as the young man raised by the pharaoh as an Egyptian prince. Moses is righteous and kind, the favored successor to the kingdom, which results in the deep-seated jealousy of Prince Rameses (Yul Brynner). Rameses and Moses compete for the throne and the love of the young princess, Nefretiri (Anne Baxter), until Moses learns the truth about his origins and joins the Jewish slaves in their fight for freedom. After receiving the Ten Commandments from God, Moses helps free the Jews from the pharaoh's tyrannical rule, surmounting all obstacles in his way--including the parting of the Red Sea, in one of the movie's most famous scenes. Cecil B. DeMille's extravagant final film--and remake of his silent 1923 version--is a legendary combination of the master showman's love of historical realism, spectacle, lavish scenic design, and dizzying crowd sequences. The exodus alone is a stunning feat of modern cinema, featuring thousands of actors trekking through the arid desert as Pharaoh's chariots chase after them.

As big and bold as Moses himself
I've seen this movie on TV a long time ago, but it never looked like this. The Blu-ray is magnificent. The colors and clarity are vivid and crisp. The story is as old as time itself and has a great introduction by Mr DeMille himself. Because of the age of the film, the "special effects" are quite antiquated and amusing at times. The acting is top notch from start to finish and the story is interesting and never a dull moment,

Worth the fifteen bucks I paid for it, but not much more.
A good retelling of an historic event, but certainly not the best that could be done. Studio scenes with wooden performances by some of the actors were accented with massive wide shots of thousands of people stumbling around in the desert. Charleton Heston stole the show with his portrayal of Moses. Yul Brynner was equal to the task of bringing Ramses to life. Female actors were guilty of posing rather than portrayal of characters. Plastic mannequins could have done the job for less money. Special effects were good for the time in which they were produced, but lame by today's standards. The fire of God was a cartoon character - not very intimidating at all. The parting of the Red Sea waters remains a landmark special effect, though.
