Storyline
The first part tells the story of Moses leading the Jews from Egypt to the Promised Land, his receipt of the tablets and the worship of the golden calf. The second part shows the efficacy of the commandments in modern life through a story set in San Francisco. Two brothers, rivals for the love of Mary, also come into conflict when John discovers Dan used shoddy materials to construct a cathedral. Written by Ed Stephan <stephan@cc.wwu.edu>

Trivia
Midway through production the film ran out of money and DeMille's original backers pulled out. The production was saved when DeMille called in a personal favor from his friend A.P. Giannini, one of the founders of Bank of America. Giannini's $500,000 investment allowed the production to continue without stopping. See more »Goofs
