REVIEWS:

"Cecil B. De Mille's 'The Ten Commandments'...is a moving story
of the spirit of freedom rising in a man, under the divine inspiration
of his Maker. And, as such, it strikes a ringing note today. ....
This is unquestionably a picture to which one must bring something
more than a mere wish for entertainment in order to get a full effect
from it. But for those to whom its fundamentalism will be entirely credible,
it should be altogether thrilling and perhaps even spiritually profound."
