Summary: Don't even think about it...
Review: "Sorry, Sorry, Sorry" is all I can say. I was hoping for a little more info on "the making of" than telling me about the lead actors and their histories. No info about the special effects, etc that I wanted to learn more about. Don't waste your money buying it or your time watching it. For me to get on here and write a review it has to stink. Go buy yourself an ice cream and watch "TV Land" instead.

Review: Although, reasonably priced, this dvd is not true to its billing. It really does not take you behind the scenes to obtain any technical information or insightful reflection pertaining to the production of the film, The Ten Commandments. Instead, this "Behind The Scenes" dvd is an extended advertisement. It contains DeMille's background introduction & old newsreel footage pertaining to The Ten Commandments (which is already contained on The Ten Commandments dvd), and footage and comments from the two main stars, Heston & Brenner, however, these stars are referring to their other works and not to the film, The Ten Commandments. Host Sean MacLaughlin provides introductory statements, but that does nothing but give the presentation a weak sense of cohesion. The dvd of The Ten Commandments is worth buying because it is simply the greatest Biblical epic that Hollywood has ever produced. Keep your eye out for the new Special Collector's Edition of the film to see what it offers, it should contain an audio commentary. However, with regards to this "Behind The Scenes" dvd, it's not worth having unless you are a completionist and enjoy anything and everything about the film or the works of the main stars and, in addition, you would like to have advertisement for the films: The Prodigal, Samson & Delilah, David & Bathsheba, Quo Vidas, The Robe, and Solomon & Sheba. Otherwise, you won't be satisfied.

Summary: THOU SHALT NOT STEAL!-Beware this quasi-bootleg!!!!
Review: Don't be fooled by the packaging, this is essentially "stolen" merchandise that is of quasi-legality due to a loophole in the copyright law. PARAMOUNT PICTURES made and OWNS the film "THE TEN COMMANDMENTS". The company that produced this supposed "making-of" has purloined Paramount's original trailer and production featurette, surrounded it with amateurish garbage and that is what this DVD is. It looks and sounds horrendous. It is a shame the a fine legitimate company like Amazon carries such tripe! BUYER BEWARE!

Summary: YOU DO NOT WANT THIS DVD - Just Terrible
Review: I just purchased this dvd from Amazon. I watched it for the first and last time, I was very disappointed with it. If you are interested in the behind the scenes and how special effects were done, then THIS IS NOT THE DVD FOR YOU! It basically is a very brief overview on the careers of Charlton Heston & Yul Brenner. DeMille started off well talking about Moses, but once that was over, there was nothing left that was of interest.This is a very sad disappointment and not a documentary in the least. Save your money, Don't bother renting it, save $3.00 !

Review: Sure, this is a rip-off, but it does contain 6 good trailers for old biblical movies, like SOLOMON AND SHEBA, so it's pretty good. Buy this if you want the trailers, do NOT buy THE BIBLE ACCORDING TO HOLLYWOOD, which doesn't even give you the them.

Summary: My view on the Ten Commandments.
Review: This film is the best relaxation that excist,it is a bibel story based mostly on the truth and it is beautiful. I have watch it for more that 100 times and everytime I watch it,it is the same feeling I get,a part of them,we all are a part of them, believe it or not. Blessings for all that has made the film and made it become real and true.

Summary: SKIP THIS ONE
Review: This is essentially everything but behind the scenes of Making of Ten Commandments. Opens with Cecil De Mille talking about the film Then maybe 10 minutes on Ten Commandments. Primarily a biography of Yul and Charleton. Goes through all their films. Interesting BUT NOT WHAT THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE. FILLERS. FILLERS. FILLERS. You have been warned.
