Epic biblical films were very popular in the 50s. Cecil B. DeMille adapted the story of Moses, this being the second time. In 1923, he directed a silent film with the same title. His own 1956 remake is even longer than Dr. Zhivago at a total of 232 minutes, almost four hours.
Nonetheless, the film still captivates today with beautiful visuals and rich colors and is one of the best productions from that era. While studio filming was common at that time, DeMille and his team also went to actual locations in Egypt and the Middle East for this film.
