WHAT TO WATCH
From the publishers of TV Guide
The Ten Commandments ABC, 6 p.m.
Nearly every year since 1973, with a few exceptions, ABC has broadcast this gigantic 1956 best picture Oscar-nominated religious epic on or around Easter — even though it relates more to the Passover holiday, given that its story comes from the Old Testament book of Exodus about Moses’ (Charlton Heston) deliverance of the Israelites from slavery at the hands of Egyptian pharaoh Rameses II (Yul Brynner). Along with Heston in his iconic role as Moses (and the voice of God via the burning bush) and Brynner, the film is star-studded with the likes of Anne Baxter, an oddly cast Edward G. Robinson, Yvonne De Carlo, Debra Paget, John Derek, Vincent Price and John Carradine. Among the film’s other technical achievements are its Oscar-winning special effects and its grand musical score by Elmer Bernstein.
