1950s Classic "Ten Commandments" Back on The Big Screen
EDITOR'S NOTE: Cecil B. DeMille's "The Ten Commandments" was something I looked forward to many years in a row, growing up. I was fascinated by the closeness between Moses and God. I can recall watching this movie many times with my father, which makes it all the more special to me, since he has recently passed. I would have to say my two favorite scenes were the 'burning bush' where Moses encountered God for the first time, and of course the Red Sea crossing. I'm excited for a chance to see it on the big screen for my first time! -Aimee Herd, BCN.
