The Secrets Behind Ben Hurt, Spartacus and The Ten Commandments

Why were the biblical movies so popular in the 1950's and 60's? Was it the spectacular battle scenes? The blessed miracles?  Or, was it the feeling of awe as you sat and watched a cast of thousands reenact the biblical stories you learned when you were growing up? Broadway veterans Patti D'Beck and David Leong take you behind the camera as you learn the secrets behind making some of the greatest stories ever told on film. 

But, like their other talks, this is no boring presentation of facts.  Watch some movie clips while you learn the secrets about how filmmakers created some of the greatest miracles on film.  And, you'll be surprised and delighted when you hear stories about how Hollywood legends like Cecil B. Demille,  Charlton Heston, and Kirk Douglas brought these epic films to life.
