‘The Ten Commandments’: At the Top of His Game: Cecil B. DeMille’s Triumph – Epoch Times

If you have enjoyed this film, then you may appreciate the background story; if you’ve never seen it, then this article is a nice introduction. Cecil B. DeMille (1881–1959) began in the theater, acting and writing. He shot his first movie in a rented barn: “The Squaw Man” (1914). Fame and success came quickly.
