Search - The Making of "The Ten Commandments" on DVD

Ten Commandments is not well served by making of DVD

"This is not the definitive documentary about the making of this epic film.
This DVD uses clips from trailers and black & white newsreels to relate information about the making of "The Ten Commandments". Image quality is generally poor. Color is often washed out. Black & white sequences are badly faded and scratched. Unless you are a big fan of the film and want everything that relates to it, this DVD is not recommended. The DVD also has trailers for other biblical and historical epics: Ben-Hur, David & Bathsheba, Solomon & Sheba, The Robe, El Cid. There are also 2 biographical portraits of Charlton Heston and Yul Brynner which use film trailers exclusively. The image quality of the trailers varies from good to poor. However, there are some trailers of films which are not available on video or are quite unfamiliar."

SKIP THIS ONE

"This is essentially everything but behind the scenes of Making of Ten Commandments. Opens with Cecil De Mille talking about the film Then maybe 10 minutes on Ten Commandments. Primarily a biography of Yul and Charleton. Goes through all their films. Interesting BUT NOT WHAT THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE. FILLERS. FILLERS. FILLERS. You have been warned."

YOU DO NOT WANT THIS DVD - Just Terrible

"I just purchased this dvd from Amazon. I watched it for the first and last time, I was very disappointed with it. If you are interested in the behind the scenes and how special effects were done, then THIS IS NOT THE DVD FOR YOU! It basically is a very brief overview on the careers of Charlton Heston & Yul Brenner. DeMille started off well talking about Moses, but once that was over, there was nothing left that was of interest.This is a very sad disappointment and not a documentary in the least. Save your money, Don't bother renting it, save $3.00 !"

Don't even think about it...

""Sorry, Sorry, Sorry" is all I can say. I was hoping for a little more info on "the making of" than telling me about the lead actors and their histories. No info about the special effects, etc that I wanted to learn more about. Don't waste your money buying it or your time watching it. For me to get on here and write a review it has to stink. Go buy yourself an ice cream and watch "TV Land" instead."
