Second viewing; first seen on an unremembered date, before 1983.
Moses is a Hebrew man who was abandoned as an infant and was raised as a son by the Pharaoh's daughter. He becomes the following Pharaoh's favorite, arousing his brother's jealousy. His destiny, however, lies with his co-ethnics, whom he endeavors to free from captivity and into a new land.
Visually beautiful and expressive rendering of the ancient Biblical story. Drama-wise, however, it is unsatisfactory, due to all sorts of anachronistic concessions to liberal ideas, erotic appeal, and other melodramatic distortions.
