The Egyptian (1954), Edmund Purdom, with Jean Simmons, Victor Mature, Gene Tierney, Bella Darvi
This segment: Speech for the Ages. This is very loosely based on The Story of Sinuhe, which does include references to Aten but was written many centuries before the 18th dynasty. Sets, costumes, and props from this film were bought and re-used by Cecil B. DeMille for The Ten Commandments. As
the events in that story take place seventy years after those in The Egyptian, this re-use creates an unintended sense of continuity. The commentary track on the Ten Commandments DVD points out many of these re-uses. Only two actors, Mimi Gibson and John Carradine, and a handful of extras, appeared
in both pictures. The Prince Aly Khan was a consultant during filming, he was engaged to Gene Tierney. (less)
