SILENT FILM THE TEN COMMANDMENTS - 1923 - EASTER SPECIAL !!

  • The Majestic Theatre 3 Factory Street Pomona, QLD, 4568 Australia (map)

Majestic screens the original first release of the epic biblical movie The Ten Commandments to celebrate the easter weekend. Produced and directed by Cecil B DeMille. Written by Jeanie MacPherson the film is divided into two parts: a prologue recreating the biblical story of  the exodus and a modern story of two brothers and their respective views of the Ten Commandments. Lauded for its "immense and stupendous" scenes, use of Technicolor process 2, and parting of the Red Sea sequence, the expensive film proved to be a box-office hit upon release. It is the first in DeMille's biblical trilogy, followed by The King of Kings 1927 and The Sign of the Cross 1932. The film runs for 2 hours and 16 minutes.

Doors and bar open 11am movie starts at 12 noon. Refreshments, tea and coffee available. Tickets $15 and free for kids 13 and under. No need to book get your tickets at the door.
