“Where’s your Moses NOW?!? Eh? Where’s your messiah NOW?!? Eh?!?”

Don't forget Abbas El Boughdadly as Rameses' Charioteer

Moses, you splendid silly ADORABLE fool!

OP = Worse than Hitler and Pharaoh.

Moses, Moses!

OP = Worse than Hitler, Pharaoh and a plague of locusts.

As it is written, so let it be done.

And the point of all this is…?

You will be king of Egypt, and I will be your footstool!

That OP missed that it was on last Saturday. Unless ABC is doing another showing tonight. Given the quarentines, it wouldn't actually be a bad idea.....

R9, thou shall not bear false witness against thy neighbor.

God opens the sea with a blast of his nostrils!

Old woman, you will dig your grave with your tongue!

R14: Your tongue will dig your grave, Mehmnet!

God erects a pillar of fire to bar Pharaoh!

See John Derek writhe as Vincent Price whips his tanned skin!!!

R20, you mean his muscular tanned body? He has the body of a stone cutter.

Yvonne was costumed by Edith Head.

Wow. Most useless thread in ages.

OP = Let me post something, anything! Oh I know the name of a movie with the cast included, copies from IMDB!

R23, honor thy father and thy mother.

Vincent Price as the evil architect. Played with perfect malevolent pitch found in today's architects.

The set deign, Mid-Century meets Palm Springs Nile.

Charlton Heston at his most delicious, standing around like he had a set of balls as big as basketballs.

Yvonne was perfect!

Yul, what a beast master!

[quote]Yvonne was costumed by Edith Head.

Edith Head gives good costumes.

The movie--we must say it--is sublime.

I watch The Ten Commandments, Ben Hur (Heston/Byod) and Prince of Egypt every Easter. Religious or not, they are good films! The homoeroticism in Ben Hur is classic!

TCM's Easter-themed movies for tomorrow:

Barabbas (1962)

Ben-Hur (1959)

Greatest Story Ever Told, The (1965)

Easter Parade (1948)

King of Kings (1961)

Watched this again last week (first half) and finished last night. Fantastic film. Heston and Brynner were beautiful. And I loved seeing Eve Harrington as Queen of Egypt.

Anne as Neverhavemytities

Lucy O'Ball was supposed to play GOD but Gary Morton talked her out of it

But OP, who played Miriam? And who the hell is Pentaur?

I'm upset the network didn't show it Easter weekend.

r38 It doesn't really have anything to do with Easter. The stuff that TCM is showing tomorrow is more appropriate. (See R29.)

^^ On Easter weekend Fox is broadcasting Trump parting the Red Sea.

I got so excited when I saw this thread, cuz I thought IT'S ON RIGHT NOW PROBABLY, cuz it's the saturday before Easter right?

Wrong, those cunts showed on April 4!

I demand recourse.

R41: How about intercourse instead?

I wonder why they didn’t call it The Story of Moses. Or just - Moses!

This thread sucks cocks in Hell!

Watching now. Here's what freaked me out. Moses's mother is played by Nina Fock and her with her wig she looks like Anne Baxter. So I thought at first Anne Baxter was also him mom and was flirting with him etc and I was like

WTF

^ I typed that without my glasses as you can tell

R45, also they kind of gloss over the fact that Rameses and Nefritiri are first cousins. Luckily, their prissy little kid who died in one of the plagues didn't have like two heads or three legs or something.

I never quite caught the relationship of Nefretiri to the pharaoh. So she was his niece? Daughter of whom?

R48: Egyptian royalty did see married siblings. De Mille really does gloss over that all by just putting her there and saying nothing else of her background.

R48, I think early in the movie the old Pharoah refers to her as "my sister's daughter". That would make Nefritiri and Rameses first cousins. Surprising that plot point made it past the old bitties on the Hayes commission.

Only first cousins.. hell I got my good looks from my sister/ wife.

R45, I remember as a small child, I thought Bithia and Nefretiri were the same person.

I was always sad that Moses and Nefretiri couldn’t end up together.

As far as I'm concerned there's only one Jethro and that's Jethro Bodine.

Ramses and Nefertiri are probably brother and sister, or half-brother and half-sister!

Really! Many pharaohnic dynasties practiced sibling marriage to keep the royal bloodlines "pure", and the kiddies would grow up knowing they'd marry the siblings they were playing with, and that's why Nefertiri would be the designated wife of the next Pharaoh. She's their closest relative. And if Pharaoh said she was his sister's daughter, well, he was probably his sister's husband.

L'homme propose, mais Dieu dispose.
