...People (Paramount), a frazzled old carpetbag about a Confederate veteran fighting off a Yankee land-grabber, makes one (and only one) original contribution: Tom Tryon, a 31-year-old bit-part boy from Broadway who, in his first good screen part as the one-armed brother of the hero (Charlton Heston), displays what one publicist has described as "175 pounds of dreamy meat." The boy is a skillful actor. At one point he even manages to steal a scene from Heroine Anne Baxter, who is probably the most relentless camera-hugger in the business...

...given sex, largely in the form of a wholly fictional love-affair between Moses and a princess of Egypt. Even if such an interpolation into the Biblical story were entirely in good taste-which is open to question-the fact remains that it is dramatically unsound. While Charlton Heston, who plays Moses, and Anne Baxter, the princess, unquestionably make a handsome couple, their embraces shed no light on the problem of how Moses, portrayed as on the threshold of the Egyptian throne, becomes a prophet and the deliverer of an enslaved race. Like the spectacle, the romance only obscures...
...from the 1923 version of The Ten Commandments down to Samson and Delilah in 1949, he has made a lot of hay in the religious field. But DeMille has not been content to trust merely in God. He has crowded the giant Vista Vision screen with such stars as Charlton Heston, Yul Brynner. Anne Baxter. Edward G. Robinson. Yvonne de Carlo, Debra Paget, John Derek, Sir Cedric Hardwicke, Judith Anderson, Vincent Price. Moreover, DeMille spent ten years in planning the picture, three years and $300,000 in research. After that, he spent almost three months in Egypt and the Holy...
...almost twice as long as anybody else has ever dared to. He throws it very cleverly indeed. The dancing girls are numerous, nubile and explicitly photographed. Yul Brynner. as the Pharaoh, swaggering barelegged across the screen, will delight his millions of feminine admirers. Even Moses, a part in which Charlton Heston is ludicrously miscast, looks less like a man who staggers into the desert to find God than one who flies to Palm Springs to freshen up his tan. According to the script, that was the kind of fellow Moses really was, at least as a young man. There...
