Line 7:
** De Mille, normally very kind to his actors, said mildly nasty stuff to Deborah Paget before the scene where she becomes Dathan's sex slave, so she would be appropriately distraught.
* [[Hey, It's That Guy!]]: [[Ben-Hur|Judah Ben-Hur]] is exiled to the desert by his brother, [[The King and I|The King of Siam]]. He also hooks up with [[The Munsters|Lily Munster]]. Oh, and [[Vincent Price]] (yes, '''that''' one) is the master builder.
** Originally DeMille wanted William Boyd to play Moses. Boyd declined, not because he didn't like the script, but he had been so solidly associated with the role of Hopalong Cassidy for so long that he was afraid that audiences wouldn't be able to take Moses as seriously if he played the character.
** It didn't hurt that old Heston bore an uncanny resemblance to a statue of Moses by Michelangeo (whom Heston himself later played in ''The Agony And The Ecstasy'').
