He produced epic films in Hollywood for almost five decades and
started Paramount Pictures.
His name was Cecil B. DeMille and he died JANUARY 21, 1959.
His best-known films include: Samson and Delilah, The Ten
Commandments and The Greatest Show on Earth, for which he won an
Academy Award.
At the opening of The Ten Commandments, 1956, Cecil B. DeMille
stated:
"Man has made 32 million laws since the Commandments were handed down
to Moses on Mount Sinai...but he has never improved on God's law...
They are the charter and guide of human liberty, for there can be no
liberty without the law."
President Harry S Truman stated in his address to the Attorney
General's Conference, February 1950:
"The fundamental basis of this nation's laws was given to Moses on
the Mount.
The fundamental basis of our Bill of Rights comes from the teachings
we get from Exodus and St. Matthew, from Isaiah and St. Paul. I don't
think we emphasize that enough these days."
Truman concluded:
"If we don't have a proper fundamental moral background, we will
finally end up with a totalitarian government which does not believe
in rights for anybody except for the State."
