With its cast of thousands and imaginative use of early special effects, director Cecil B. DeMille's original silent 1923 version of The Ten Commandments is truly one of the greatest epics to come out of the 1920s Hollywood. Its unique storyline moves back and forth in time to show the relevance of its Old Testament morality to contemporary (circa 1923) immorality. Over 30 years later, DeMille topped the pageantry and excitement of his original silent film with his 1956 retelling of The Ten Commandments. Filmed in Egypt and the Sinai, and featuring one of the biggest sets ever constructed for a motion picture, this movie tells the story of the life of Moses, who turned his back on a privileged life to lead his people to freedom. Package contains 3 discs including the 1923 silent film.
