...technical faults are insignificant beside the dishonesty of the whole show. DeMille, instead of the magnificently human Moses of the Bible who, about to die, exhorts his people with the words, "Your enemies shall come fawning to you, and you shall tread upon their high places," gives us only a lily-livered little liberal who orates vaguely about freedom; instead of God, only an off-screen voice; instead of religious fervor, only sentimentality...
