217 Ten Commandments, The (1956)
- 'Cecil B. DeMille' (qv) previously filmed this story as
"The Ten Commandments (1923)" (qv).
- Since DeMille's death in 1959, most people have believed the director's
claim that the voice of God was his own. (He was clearly the film's
narrator.) But two other people later insisted that they had provided
God's voice: 'Charlton Heston' (qv), and the singer-actor
'Jesse Delos Jewkes' (qv), who died in 1984. There is no screen credit for
God's voice, and the fact is that only DeMille and his sound director,
'Loren L. Ryder' (qv), who died in 1985, knew the truth - because the voice
used in the film was run through mixers, changers, and echo chambers.
