I Preferred the Book

[Cleita]

9. On a clear day I can see the dunes from

my front doorstep. I live on a hill several miles back behind them in Arroyo Grande. I've actually never gone on them. Ole Cecil was a showman and what he did was commercial to make money back in his day. However, I recently watched parts of the Charlton Heston version of his second "The Ten Commandments". The best parts, where there was real drama. were the scenes between Yul Brynner and Ann Baxter. The rest of it had some real unintentional comedic moments.

Remember when Yvonne DeCarlo comes running into camp announcing, "There's a man among the sheep!"

Oh, and there was so much more bad dialogue and acting too.

I didn't watch a whole lot of the new series, because what I did watch told me that it was not a good treatment. It's meant to appeal to a certain type of Bible reader. I have a neighbor like that, a church goer, who would probably have a fit of culture shock if thrown into a real life bible scenario with real people who resemble those Middle Eastern people we are at war with.
