Meanwhile, John has not had the same success as Dan but has a good life living by what the bible says. Unfortunately, his time not living by the commandments has caught up with him and he is now wanted by the police. Years later Dan has made a fortune "cheating" in business and has a mistress that has a contagious and fatal disease. While John, like his mother, follows the bible and the commandments, Dan thinks they are all "bunk" – a sentiment that upsets and angers his mother. Having only been previously familiar with the 1956 film, I wasn't sure what to expect and the movie starts similarly to the 1956 version but after about 40 minutes the movie changes to a more modern story of a mother and her two grown sons Dan (Rod La Rocque International Crime) and John (Richard Dix Devil's Playground) McTavish. The 1923 silent film is rather interesting. Together they make an excellent addition to any home entertainment library. Because of this, Paramount Pictures has decided to put together a Blu-ray Digipack including both DeMille's 1923 silent version of The Ten Commandments and the 1956 Charlton Heston ( Ben-Hur) / Yul Brynner ( The King and I) version. Some of his features are still shown today and probably his most famous is the 1956 version of The Ten Commandments. He made seventy feature films both silent and with sound and he will never be forgotten. DeMille is known as a founding father of American film and the most commercially successful producer-director in all of film history.
