Bainbridge Cinemas, partnering with Fathom Events, Turner Classic Movies and Paramount Pictures, will celebrate the 60th Anniversary of “The Ten Commandments” by putting this classic film back up on the big screen at 7 p.m. Wednesday, March 23.

This beloved cinematic staple will be accompanied by special commentary from TCM hosts, who will provide insight, background and more, making the film come alive.

For sheer pageantry and spectacle, few motion pictures can claim to equal the splendor of Cecil B. DeMille’s 1956 epic.

Filmed in Egypt and the Sinai with one of the biggest sets ever constructed for a motion picture, the film tells the story of the life of Moses (Charlton Heston), once favored in the Pharaoh’s (Yul Brynner) household, who turned his back on a privileged life to lead his people to freedom.

This film will be shown in the same aspect ratio as when it was originally released in cinemas in 1956.

Tickets are $10.50 for adults and $8.50 for children and seniors.
