Author Topic: "THE TEN COMMANDMENTS" on DVD Joe Schmidt Expert Film Handler Posts: 172 From: Billings, Montana, USA Registered: Apr 2001 posted 05-02-2004 06:35 AM                     I wonder what Cecil himself would have to say about the DVD releases of 10-C and such things as whether his intro or the Overture should come first. I do have the original DVD release but never saw the new one in costco here as Claude reported. It will be difficult to find out what Cecil thinks as he is buried in the Hollywood Memorial Park Cemetery not too far away from Paramount across the street. But one of these years, if visiting there again, I will ask him.  |  IP: Logged Robert Harris Film Handler Posts: 95 From: Bedford Hills, NY, USA Registered: May 2003 posted 05-02-2004 08:26 AM                     As with a number of other roadshow releases, there were specific instructions given to theatre management regarding precisely how a show was to be run. These were prepared for The Ten Commandments. The most intricate that I've seen were for original performances of Mad World. RAH  |  IP: Logged Patrick J.
