In 1923, acclaimed director Cecil B. DeMille made his first version of The Ten Commandments. To capture an epic sense of wonder and grandeur, DeMille built a magnificent "City of the Pharaoh" set on a windswept stretch of California coast. When he was finished filming, the enormous set vanished. Thirty years ago, filmmaker Peter Brosnan heard this story in a bar and decided to hunt for the Lost City. He found it. Now he wants to dig it up. (Napa Valley Film Festival)
