Yul Bryner, Anne Baxter, Vincent Price, and Eddie G. Yea MC, I also liked Yul as the Pharoh and Yvonne DeCarlo as Moses' wife Sephora. How could I forget Sephora! She was hot. There were many borderline corny lines of dialog in the film....and the way they were delivered. Moses had a few good ones with Sephora....all of a sudden he blurts out, "I will dwell in this land". And another blurt-out, "That light...on the mountain."

Good actor. Horrible idealist.
But none the less, RIP.
I wonder how many guns he'll be burried with?
And will there be a gun-salute at the funeral?

But if you do go gas, there's nothing you can do if the air that was once you is mingled and mashed with the kicked up molecules of the enemy's former body. Big-kid-tested, motherf--ker approved."

He also had a brief role as John The Baptist in another biblical movie. Was it "The Greatest Story Ever Told?"  TIS Yup...and I know someone who saw that months back, and claims to me that it was surprisingly pretty good, if just too long. EDIT - Off topic, but I just found out that one of EL CID's fans, ole Marty Scorsese, was one of the people that was able to get that sucker out on DVD. That's awesome.

Another film of his that wasn't mentioned is Earthquake, which I saw as a kid and thought was the most amazing movie ever made. That's right, I forgot about that one. Also wasn't there another disaster flick (airplane disaster) he was in.......Midway???? (there was also a airplane movie with Dean Martin as the pilot I think, and I get the two mixed up.) Or, maybe I'm just mixed up.  TIS

Weren't we supposed to be able to "feel" the earthquake through our seats? I don't remember what the technology was called, but I know that you were supposed to be able to feel the tremors through your seat. SB, Now that you mention it yea. I think they had the new sound (Dolby??) and I don't know that we felt shaking, but we heard the thunderous roar. Ha ha!!! I forgot about that. Cool at the time though.  (edit: I was inspired to check and found this) Earthquake TIS

The Ten Commandments was required viewing every year for CCD class when I was young. "Ten Commandments" is required viewing on network TV every April.  Arizona is a "Second Amendment state." Pro-gun bumper stickers are all over cars and pickup trucks here. One I spotted south of Tucson last year: "Charlton Heston is my President."

Whenit comes to Bible character portrayals, Heston could have portrayed the donkey that Jesus rode on into Jerusalem and it would have been a superb portrayal. Maybe because some people already considered him to be an ass.
