The program concludes with a prayer for strength to follow God's commandments. "The Ten Commandments" is a 1956 American epic religious drama film produced, directed, and narrated by Cecil B. DeMille, and released by Paramount Pictures. Based on the Bible's first five books and other sources, it dramatizes the story of the life of Moses, an adopted Egyptian prince who becomes the deliverer of his real brethren, the enslaved Hebrews, and thereafter leads the Exodus to Mount Sinai, where he receives, from God, the Ten Commandments. The film stars Charlton Heston in the lead role, Yul Brynner as Rameses, Anne Baxter as Nefretiri, Edward G. Robinson as Dathan, Yvonne De Carlo as Sephora, Debra Paget as Lilia, and John Derek as Joshua; and features Sir Cedric Hardwicke as Sethi, Nina Foch as Bithiah, Martha Scott as Yochabel, Judith Anderson as Memnet, and Vincent Price as Baka, among others. 0:00: Father James Keller introduces the program and actor Yul Brynner, focusing on "The Ten Commandments." 0:30: Keller praises the film for dramatizing the Ten Commandments for a wider audience. 1:23: Keller introduces the writers of the film and presents awards. 4:01: Keller honors associate producer Henry Wilcoxson. 4:56: Keller presents an award to director Cecil B.
