- TriviaAt least 14,000 extras and 15,000 animals were used in this movie.
- GoofsWhen the Israelites are making the golden calf, one of the male dancers carelessly, but harmlessly, backs into the pot of molten metal.
- Crazy creditsThis film ends with the line: "So it was written, so it shall be done."
- Alternate versionsIn all of the film's theatrical releases, Cecil B. DeMille appears in a short prologue in which he prepares the audience for what they will see, including the fact that the picture will concentrate heavily on the early years of Moses before he led the Hebrews out of Egypt; he also indicates the length of the film and the fact that it will be shown with an intermission. This prologue has always been cut in the film's network television showings.
- ConnectionsEdited into Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi (1983)
Featured review
Baka - "Would you lose the throne because Moses builds a city ?" Rameses - "The city that he builds shall bear my name. The woman that he loves shall bear my child. So it shall be written. So it shall be done......"
Hats off to the persons who wrote his lines and designed his costumes. Yul Brynner played Rameses to the hilt . I really believe he was the only actor at that time fit to play that role , his deep voice ,his accent,his bow-legged walk, his well-defined body even his scorching insults were done with a Princely flare that only Brynner could have pulled off.
Rameses - "....you are going to be mine, all mine like my dog or my horse or my falcon, only, I would love you more and trust you less......" - speaking to Nefretiri.
and there's more . Great,just Great...
