THE TEN COMMANDMENTS (1956) 6924

Original Mexican One Sheet Poster (27x36) for the 1956 Cecil B. DeMille Biblical epic, THE TEN COMMANDMENTS-- starring Charlton Heston, Yul Brynner, and Anne Baxter. This was DeMille's last film, which he had previously made before in a silent version in 1923. This new production was truly "larger-than-life" with enormous crowd scenes, lavish spectacles, and amazing special effects for the time. Many critics consider this to be Heston's greatest role, playing the Hebrew prophet as a humble man with a great inner strength. In the famous Exodus scene, there were over 12,000 people and 15,000 animals stretched over three miles. Costing an unheard of $13 million to make, the film grossed over $80 million and enjoyed several re-releases. The musical score for The Ten Commandments is one of the best by the wonderful Elmer Bernstein. This original Mexican one sheet is in very fine condition.
