Film Script (8.5" x 11"); Written by Dorothy Clarke Wilson, J.H. Ingraham and A.E. Southon; Belonging to Actor/Associate Producer Henry Wilcoxon ;
Fine-
Paramount, 1956

This is a script from director Cecil B. DeMille's most spectacular and well-known epic, a sound and color remake of his original 1923 silent drama. Dated December 21, 1954, the title page is followed by a four-page cast list and a one-page quote from DeMille himself. The script consists of mimeographed pages on white paper, along with numerous pages of dated revisions printed on blue onionskin paper. The script belonged to cast member Henry Wilcoxon, who played the character "Pentaur" and also served as the film's Associate Producer. Wilcoxon made several handwritten notations in pencil throughout the script, changing dialogue and noting potential cuts to various scenes. The script is missing one of the two final pages, ending with the line, "Moses charges Joshua to lead his people into Jordan." It is brad-bound without wrappers and is in overall very good condition. Some pages show creases in the lower right corner, while the first eight pages have a small edge stain, and the cover page displays smudges and small stains.

"The Ten Commandments" was DeMille's final directorial effort before his death in 1959 and he suffered a heart attack during the production of the film; but, true to his nature, he was immediately back on set against his doctor's orders.
