The Ten Commandments. Awesome.

Way back in the 70's I took a couple of film classes in college and I remember vividly watching selected scenes from that film. The prof showed us how DeMille still opened his scenes the way that theater and silent films had done - using a very old 1800's technique called TABLEAU - in which actors on a stage would be arranged like a classic painting all frozen behind the curtain. Then the curtain would open and for a split second or two, the actors would freeze before going into action. DeMille apparently was still stuck in the silent days as he uses it again and again in that movie and others he did as well.

There are some great scenes in that pic and Heston did a solid job.
