The Ten Commandments

The master of the cinematic spectacle, Cecil B. DeMille, directed this silent religious epic, a precursor to his 1956 classic. Divided into two parts, the first half tells the biblical story of Moses (Theodore Roberts), while the other half parallels the tale of the Ten Commandments with a modern parable of the wages of sin involving two brothers (Richard Dix, Rod La Rocque). Co-stars Estelle Taylor, Charles De Roche, Edythe Chapman. 146 min. Standard; Soundtrack: Dolby Digital music score; Subtitles: English, French. Silent with music score.
