Once again, it’s the time of the year when the movie, The Ten Commandments, takes to the airwaves, an Easter tradition on ABC. I’m pretty sure I mentioned in the past how much I enjoy this film on so many levels. It has a great epic quality from the solemn narration by its director, Cecil B. DeMille, to the huge sets employed.
It also has a great deal of goofiness in the writing and acting, where I sometimes feel like I’m watching an SCTV skit and half expect Eugene Levy to stumble into the scene. Pure kitsch.
When you throw in the fact that it’s such a great tale, it makes for a great night of viewing.
Here’s something that has very little to do with the movie except for the title. It’s Desmond Dekker‘s early reggae hit, The Israelites. When I hear this song I am immediately transformed to being a kid listening to this song in our kitchen on my Dad’s big old plastic AM radio that had its batteries held in place with a piece of wood in its open backside.
Anyway, enjoy…
