EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic poster for Cecil B DeMille's groundbreaking film, "The Ten Commandments" (1923). The image transports us back to a time when cinema was still in its infancy, yet this epic production already promised to be an extraordinary spectacle. The poster itself is a work of art, designed to captivate and enthrall audiences with its grandeur. Adorned with the names of Adolph Zukor and Jesse L Lasky, two pioneering figures in the early days of Hollywood, this print serves as a testament to their ambition and vision. "The Ten Commandments" was not just another movie; it aimed to become the mightiest dramatic spectacle ever created. This ambitious claim only adds to our curiosity about what lay within those hallowed frames. As we gaze at this historic artifact from the British Film Institute collection, we can almost feel ourselves being transported into ancient Egypt. We imagine colossal sets depicting pharaohs and slaves, monumental architecture rising against breathtaking landscapes - all brought vividly to life through DeMille's masterful direction. While commercial use may have been integral in promoting such an awe-inspiring film during its time, let us focus instead on appreciating this photograph for what it truly represents: a remarkable piece of cinematic history that continues to inspire filmmakers today. It reminds us that even after nearly a century since its release, "The Ten Commandments" remains an enduring symbol of innovation and artistic achievement in the world of motion pictures.
