The Ten Commandments

Moses (Theodore Roberts) leads the Israelites out of Egypt, with Rameses (Charles De Rochefort) ruling behind them, and carries the stone tablets down to a people already worshipping a golden calf. Then the film jumps to modern San Francisco, where two brothers, John and Dan, compete for the same woman and quarrel over the shoddy materials in a cathedral. Cecil B. DeMille builds the Egyptian half on enormous sets, lining the frame with columns and crowds.
