Charleton Heston as Moses in
The Ten Commandments
I read a short but interesting article on American Vision this morning. Here's a short clip of Cecil B. Demille introducing the film, 'The Ten Commandments' when it first came to the theater in 1956. Kevin remembers being at the Majestic Theater in Barron, and remembers that introduction by Cecil B. Demille. Unfortunately, Demille's introduction is not included in the televised version of the movie.
From American Vision:
The official souvenir book produced at the time The Ten Commandments was released expressed DeMille’s understanding of the importance of God’s revealed law:
“The Ten Commandments are not rules to
obey as a personal favor to God. They are fundamental principles without
which mankind cannot live together. . . . THE TEN COMMANDMENTS are not
laws. They are THE LAW. Man has made 32,000,000 laws since they were
handed down to Moses on Mount Sinai more than three thousand years ago,
but he has never improved on God’s law.”
I encourage you to read the article in its entirety on American Vision.
