TEN COMMANDMENTS, THE (1956) 27472 Re-released of 1966

Paramount Pictures Original German 24x33 Folded Very Fine Condition Release of 1966

Original German 24x33 Poster for the 1966 re-release of the 1956 Cecil B. DeMille Biblical epic, THE TEN COMMANDMENTS-- starring Charlton Heston, Yul Brynner, and Anne Baxter. This was DeMille's last film, which he had previously made before in a silent version in 1923. This new production was truly "larger-than-life" with enormous crowd scenes, lavish spectacles, and amazing special effects for the time. Many critics consider this to be Heston's greatest role, playing the Hebrew prophet as a humble man with a great inner strength. In the famous Exodus scene, there were over 12,000 people and 15,000 animals stretched over three miles. Costing an unheard of $13 million to make, the film grossed over $80 million and enjoyed several re-releases. The musical score for The Ten Commandments is one of the best by the wonderful Elmer Bernstein. Very nice art for this German poster, even though the poster for a re-release. It shows that the foreign distributors often cared much more for the promotion of previously released films than did the Americans. MovieArt Austin guarantees that this poster is an authentic, vintage, German poster for this film. MovieArt Austin will sell no reproductions.
