This fascinating script is a rare document of the legendary Cecil B. DeMille's filming techniques employed in the making of famed epics like The Crusades and The Ten Commandments. A constant companion to DeMille during production, Berenice Mosk would have annotated this script with amendments to the script, action and direction as dictated by DeMille as the action took place on set.

Henry Wilcoxon played the lead role of Marc Antony in Cecil B. DeMille's Cleopatra, 1934. It would prove to be the beginning of a long relationship with DeMille, he would become a familiar DeMille character actor, playing King Richard Of England in this case, and became DeMille's associate producer in the later years of DeMille's career. Interestingly, it was Wilcoxon who was instrumental in negotiating with Egypt's then President Nasser to obtain permission for Paramount and DeMille to shoot The Ten Commandments on location in Egypt. Nasser apparently told Wilcoxon that his approval was a direct result of the fairness with which DeMille had treated the character of Saladin, the Saracen leader, in The Crusades.
