Paramount Pictures; 1923; dir: Cecil B. DeMille: cast: Theodore Roberts, Charles de Rochefort, Estelle Taylor, Julia Faye, Edythe Chapman, Richard Dix, Rod LaRoque, Leatrice Joy. VHS edition distributed by Paramount Pictures, black-and-white with color inserts, stereo, 146 mins, VHS tape like new condition with no flaws. Truly one of the greatest spectacles ever produced for the screen, this original silent film version of Cecil B. DeMille's blockbuster is a motion picture that you must see to understand the genius that built the industry. The plot moves back and forth in time to show the relevance of its Old Testament morality to contemporary (circa 1923) immorality. This spectacular production used a cast of thousands and was hailed by the critics for its imaginative use of special effects, including the famous "parting of the Red Sea" sequence. This Paramount Pictures release features a Gaylor Carter score performed on a magnificent Wurlitzer organ and beautifully captures all the reverance and power that DeMille captured on film.
