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.

  • Really good entertainment

    This was a surprise as it was better than I remembered it. I was a bit concerned as to how the special effects would come out, however considering the film was made in the 1950s the effects were very well done and believable. It was also a relief that there was a cast of thousands rather than CG. The only criticism and this was due to the time it was made was that the script was a bit hammy but then it was in the 'biblical' style which many of the epics of the time were made. It is 3 hours 40 minutes long with an intermission (second half on a separate disc so you have time to make a cup of tea). The time just flew by. Well worth the money.

  • A classic biblical epic

    Saw the film when first released. The special effects were amazing for its day. Just wanted to see the film again as it does not get shown often on broadcast TV - too long probably. The price was very attractive too.

  • Great old film with some great stars

    Great old film, you can see early Yul Brynner, but the film quality has dated a bit. Rather long as you would expect. Some unlikely dancing in bright colours that would not have existed.
