Manage episode 360185691 series 3312526
In 1956, two movies take their sweet time with two famous stories. Our Best Picture takes us Around the World in 80 Days (and 200 cameos) as this first film version of Jules Verne's novel loads the screen with exotic locales, familiar faces, and long, LONG shots of scenery. But 'tis but a blip next to our Box Office Champion, As Cecil B. DeMille brings the Book of Exodus to life through The Ten Commandments... a movie that must hold the record for "Longest Wait Before the Thing From the Title Happens."

Join us for the pilgrimage!
