Watched The Ten Commandments dubbed in Tagalog on GMA 7 last night. I love GMA 7 for dubbing many foreign movies for Filipino audiences. It is the next best thing to educational travel.

Loved The Ten Commandments as a child, but, as an adult, couldn't help but note the stagy production. Best acting for me was by Yul Brynner, who has a face as unique as Ingrid Bergman's and, sadly, there will be none other like it. As for Charlton Heston, he was a complete ham. I couldn't stand the way he kept floating through scenes with outstretched arms like a fashion model in a caftan. His final coiffeur, based on Michelangelo's statue, was also a scream.
