The Torah tells of two sets of the Ten Commandments. Likewise, Cecil B. DeMille directed two biblical films called "The Ten Commandments," one in 1923 and the other in 1956.
Vincent Price knew enough to stay out of a machismo-off between Heston and Brynner.
It s Yahweh or the highway.

In 1923, Cecil B. DeMille made a movie about the problems he saw corrupting his society. In 1956, DeMille remade that film because he saw his civilization threatened by a force of evil. In 2014, Ridley Scott retells the story of Moses and the Jews in Egypt as a way to work out his own religious hang ups. Yes, it’s The “Ten Commandments” (1923) vs. “The Ten Commandments” (1956) vs “Exodus: Gods and Kings” (2014) in KIMT’s Weekend Yahweh Throwdown! And at the risk of spoiling things, the third time was definitely NOT the charm.
