The Ten Commandments
Bank holiday afternoon fare it force be, but DeMille's remake of his 1923 silent is a marvellous epic of the kind they don't make any more. The motion follows Moses (Heston) from his life as the adopted son of Pharoah by virtue of his recognition of his Hebrew inheritance, efforts to untrammelled his enslaved people, plagues on the Egyptians, swarm across the Red Sea and, after all is said, the tablets of stone from God on which the titular commandments reach their debut. Religious types may quibble (only seven plagues?), but, if captivated purely on film-making terms, it's hard to fault.
