The 88th Anniversary of the Opening of the Egyptian Theatre! L.A. Premiere of the Groundbreaking 6K Digital Restoration. Original Roadshow Version! THE TEN COMMANDMENTS, 1956, Paramount, 220 min. "Let his name be stricken from every pillar and obelisk!" orders imperious pharaoh Yul Brynner, as favored son-turned-religious rebel Charlton Heston prepares to lead his people from bondage in Egypt. Cecil B. DeMille’s glorious remake of his earlier 1923 TEN COMMANDMENTS emphasizes the colossal spectacle of the biblical epic, but never downplays the tremendous human emotions at the core of the story.

Andrea Kalas, Vice President of Archives, and Ronald F. Smith, Vice President of Restoration at Paramount Pictures will introduce the film.

Exhibition of jewelry and costumes from the film. Coffee & cake will be served during intermission.
