THE TEN COMMANDMENTS
Set during biblical times, this movie took plenty of liberties when it comes to wardrobe. Just take their use of lacy underwire bras for example. This wouldn’t have been too bad had it not been visible underneath the actress’ dress! Starring as Nefertiti, Anne Baxter’s beauty was only highlighted further by the vivid blue of her dress. Unfortunately, such a color would have been an impossible feat during those times—since commercial dyes didn’t really exist unlike in the present. Still, we have to give this movie credit for creating some truly memorable set pieces and beautiful costumes despite not being fully accurate.
Dummies are used all the time in movies, but in a scene where Rameses puts his son’s body on the statue close to his throne, it was apparent they were using a dummy, as evidenced by the plastic hair and eyes.
