1956. 3 hours 40 minute run time.

Truth be told is a pretty bad movie. Strangely cast. Massively over acted in some parts.

BUT Yul Brynner steals the movie from Charlotte Heston (IMHO).

I can do a dead on impression of Yul in this part. My joke about the "Who IS this Moses?" Line goes:
Moses. Remember he was your brother. He was going to be Pharoah until he flipped out and went with the hippies. Nothing? Your brother? Not ringing any bells here?





"Dance mud turtles, dance!"

1. Edward G. Robinson is great as the Republican

2. "Truth be told is a pretty bad movie."

Yeah, but I'm not going to let that stop me from watching it again.

Wait; what's on Svengoolie?

Hey, is that the one where...?

Valley of the Dragons (1961 film)

No, it isn't. I had it mixed up with Cowboys vs Dinosaurs (2015). That, I would watch.

5. Me either

We don’t think our daughter has seen it. Going to my folks tonight and then to church with my mom tomorrow. I’ve never been to her church. Presbyterian- split in half a few years ago but I think she went with the good half.

3. I loved the SNL skit with Billy Crystal doing Edward G. Robinson in the 10 Commandments.

Sadly it seems no clip of it exists...WTF?????

The 10 Commandments is a great movie that I love - it's definitely 'tradition' for this Atheist !!!

4. Lorne Michaels guards that stuff tightly

He wants to sell DVD’s or rent on TV. Until very recently there was almost nothing old SNL on You Tube. I still can’t find the Garrett Morris “get me a shotgun and kill all the whites I see” clip.

10. ten? these days most of them are ignored by the bible crowd nt

[Archae]

11. 15...*crunch* 10!

[California_Republic]

12. " I shall live in this land!"

That’s my favorite over acted scene.

[CTyankee]

13. "Oh, Moses, Moses, Moses..." Anne Baxter was a doozie in her part...

16. And Lily Munster

Yvonne De Carlo as Sephora

[Roland99]

14. I much prefer the Dudley Moore / Richard Pryor version

[superpatriotman]

15. Every line could be a meme

Epic lines. Too many to mention, but among my favorite:
"This is for Moses; for he is kind, as well as wise."
"God can part the seas with a blast from his nostril."
"Bring it back stained with His blood." "I will. To mix with yours."

17. Just started. My daughter looks at me "Why are they white?"

She’s never seen it before.
