Show Notes
Cecil B. DeMilles 1956 epic, The Ten Commandments, revolutionized filmmaking with its iconic Red Sea scene. Shot on location and Paramounts backlot, it took six months to perfect, using practical effects and optical printing. Charlton Hestons Moses was filmed against a blue screen, blending with desert shots and matte paintings. The film, the most expensive at the time, grossed over $122 million, proving old-school movie magic endures. Catch the full spectacle on ABC, April 4th, 2026, at 7 p.m. Eastern.
