John Derek and Charlton Heston are being questioned by Vincent Price in THE TEN COMMANDMENTS. A super spectacular film, in more ways than one, but also hopelessly campy and a tad overlong.
Another ludicrous DeMille moment in this scene ... they're moving this huge stone, it's much taller and wider than an adult human and they have ONE person greasing the bottom of the stone with a small bag of grease and a rag on a stick ? That's like washing a car with a Q-tip. Did DeMille really expect his audience to think the mean, old, nasty Egyptians were that inefficient when it came to constructing their monuments ?
