Does anyone remember when the Ten Commandments was traditionally aired on the prime-time networks every Easter? It sadly is not anymore and if you carefully listen to Cecil B. DeMille’s introduction to the film, (3:16-3:30) I think you will know why.
I have a copy of the Ten Commandments along with the original Ben-Hur and both I traditionally taken time to watch during the Easter and Passover weeks every year, and for those of you out there who are interested, Youtube, to their credit, has offered a free viewing of 1956 classic of the Ten Commandments which I wish to share with you all.
Disclaimer: The youtube link image display may make a misleading claim of the movie being age-restricted as an attempted form of censorship by way of suppressing viewership. If you see such a label, do not believe it, but instead take time to watch the film for yourself.
ABC just aired it last Sunday. I think they did it last weekend to coincide with Passover.
If only they would play it again on Easter. If they played it last Sunday, then maybe we are on the verge of the Great Awakening after all.
They've played it every year since the 1970s.
With one exception: for some reason, they skipped 1999.
But you have to pay to see it
