The Ten Commandments

I'm watching that great old movie "The Ten Commandments" this evening. It's always shown sometime around Easter/Passover but this is the first year in  a while that I've actually taken the time to watch the whole thing. It's a great story, obviously, played out on the big screen with evil villains, 'super' heroes and some pretty impressive special effects considering how long ago it was made. When the movie first came our our in 1956 I was in 7th grade and our whole class (probably all the 7th and 8th graders) were taken on a field trip from our little Lutheran school in Woodburn to the Clyde theater in the big city of Fort Wayne to see "The Ten Cmmandments". Back then the Clyde was, I think, the largest, newest theater in Fort Wayne, with a really big screen and lots of turquoise in the decorating scheme (always one of my favorite colors). Needless to say it was the most amazing movie any of us had ever seen, and I was pretty sure this was exactly how the Bible story really happened. I do remember being absolutely terrified when the old lady got stuck behind the huge stone and was going to be crushed to death.  Tell the truth now, when you think of Moses, can you imagine the original looking like anyone other that Charlton Heston?
