Based on the Holy Scriptures, with additional dialogue by several other hands, The Ten Commandments was the last film directed by Cecil B. DeMille. The story relates the life of Moses, from the time he was discovered in the bullrushes as an infant by the Pharoah's daughter, to his long, hard struggle to free the Hebrews from their slavery at the hands of the Egyptians.
