Cecil B. DeMille’s 1956 epic The Ten Commandments is a cornerstone of American cinema, boasting an immense legacy as one of the highest-grossing films of all time (adjusted for inflation). Starring Charlton Heston, it is celebrated for spectacular practical effects, including the iconic parting of the Red Sea, and remains a perennial television staple during Easter and Passover. © The Ten Commandments (1956)

Cecil B DeMille was the director of The Ten Commandments (1956) - In theaters, he introduced the film and this introduction is often left out of modern television airings. Look for it on a home media release of the film. #TheTenCommandments #10commandments
