Henry Wilcoxon and Claudette Colbert in DeMille's 1934 "Cleopatra"Cecil B. (Blount) DeMille: Academy Award-winning film producer; born this date in 1861 and died Jan 21, 1959. He (along with D. W. Griffith) invented the motion picture as a dramatic and visual form. DeMille was the director of "Cleopatra" with Claudette Colbert. It's my favorite of all his movies. I defy you to find a sexier moment in film than the barge scene from that movie! He also produced and directed (several times, in fact) "The Ten Commandments". They don't make 'em like that anymore. And that's a pity.

I haven't seen this one. But I loved The Ten Commandments. It was my first and only moive in a theatre with my parents.
I remember sometime as a teenager being on the deck leaning over the rail doing my best Ann Baxter impersonation as I waved an oak branch saying Moses, Moses, Moses, to my friend below. The next thing I knew my mom slammed that sliding glass door open and came out and swatted me on the back side.lol Dang she heard EVRYTHING no matter where I was in the house.
