THE 10 COMMANDMENTS was made twice. The first time, it was a silent movie; so which one?

[phoebe7165]

THE 10 COMMANDMENTS was made twice. The first time, it was a silent movie; so which one?

I had no idea there was a silent version! I meant the Charlton Heston one.

[treky]

yes there was; and they were both done by Cecil B. DeMille.


OK time for a little trivia!:)

In the silent one, they showed the parting of the Red by pouring clear geletan out of a mold, filmed it, then played the film back, backwards.

In the sound version, that scene was filmed in a giant tank that's underneath the parking lot at Paramount, and has also been used for scenes in WINGS and STAR TREK 4 among other things.

[seventies_sitcoms]

I've heard of all of them, exept UP THE DOWN STAIR CASE. What's it about, and who's in it?

The movie stars Sandy Dennis, and she is a high school teacher in a tough inner city New York school. Jean stapleton has a small part as the school's secretary. I really like this film a lot and I wish it would be released on DVD.
