Megat rel Olieres sts. s , is its thematic story of the life of Moses, portrayed by Charlton Heston. What kind of man looms so large? Yo Sir Winston Churchill, Moses was the man who made “the most decisive leap forward ever discernible in human _ history.” Henry George described the great leader of the Israelites as “the genius of human liberty, one of those star souls that dwindle not with distance.” DeMille himself, who found in Moses the inspiration for the peak achievement in an unparalleled career of moviemaking, saw him as “a fiercely impassioned Deliverer, freeing mankind to live by law. Since Moses, men have never again been content to live in chains.” The story of Moses is also the story of man’s power to grow—in this case, from a young general with a lust for battle, to a divinely directed leader struggling to bring his people from bondage to a life of peace and goodness. The metamorphosis of Moses was an enormously challenging assignment for Charlton Heston. How he handled it is illustrated in the accompanying scenes from “The Ten Commandments.” The most-acclaimed motion picture of all time, “The Ten Commandments” stars Heston opposite Anne Baxter, as Queen Nefretiri, and Yul Brynner, as the Pharaoh. The unparalleled star cast also includes Edward G. Robinson, Debra Paget, John Derek, Sir Cedric Hardwicke, Nina Foch, Martha Scott, and Vincent Price. The epic drama was filmed on location in Egypt and on the Sinai Peninsula at places described in the Book of Exodus. DeMille directed the Technicolor film, his seventieth.
