Cecil B. DeMille : the art of the Hollywood epic

Cecilia DeMille Presley and Mark A. Vieira
«One hundred years ago, Cecil B. DeMille made the first feature film ever shot in Hollywood and went on to become the most commercially successful producer-director in history. Between 1913 and 1956, he made seventy features, both silent and sound films. DeMille told his cinematic tales with painterly, extravagant images, the parting of the Red Sea in The Ten Commandments was only one of these. His films were distinguished by their epic scale, and by his cinematic showmanship. This lavish volume opens the Cecil B. DeMille Archives, presenting storyboard art, concept paintings, and an array of photographic imagery. Historian Mark A. Vieira writes an illuminating text to accompany these scenes. Cecilia de Mille Presley relates her grandfather's thoughts on his various films, and recalls her visits to his sets, including the Egyptian expedition to film The Ten Commandments. »
