Ten years went into the planning of the picture.- Three years and $300p00 went into research before the picture was even cbm- vmenced. DeMille him self Spent thr; months in the Near 'East shooting his key scenes, where the events supposedly 'took place. For one scene, the beginnings of the J ew- ish Exodus from Egypt, DeMille.used 20,000 extras, nearly twice as many people as his torians calculate were in the act At the time the mov ie . was released, DeMille declared: \I believe deeply that the Ten Commandments given on Mount Sinai are not laws. They are the law,..the charter and guide of human liberty. The struggle between the forces represented by Moses and those represented by Pharaoh is still being waged today. Are men free souls under God or are they the property of the state? Are men to be ruled by law or by the whims of ah individual?\ Although widely ac claimed the movie is not without fault. Writes the Time movie, reviewer, \...what he {Cecil DeMille) has really done is to throw sex and sand in to the movie goer's eyes for almost twice as long as anybody else has dared to. He throws it very clever ly indeed. The dancing i girls are numerous, nubile, and explicitly photographed.\ \When God speaks to Moses-from the burning bush,\ continues the Time reviewer, \out booms a big, creamy bass voice that sounds like nothing so much as a TV announcer mak ing a . pitch for .a local funeral home.\ Yet despite these adverse opinions, the general public and the clergy seem to have received it well. \We are not the sane,\ deT , dared a Baptist min-i- ister, \after we have lived through the ex perience of following Moses through this '.picture.\ _________ Jr. and Mrs. Rodney Witt and Carol motored to Lewiston, Idaho, o- ver the ' Thaakrs.giving holiday to visic Mr. Witt’s mother.
