One of the great 'movie-lines' of all time...

One of my favorite movie-lines happens/occurs again tonight in the film 'THE TEN COMMANDMENTS'. It is spoken/recited by 'DATHAN - the evil overseer' played by EDWARD G. ROBINSON[the Brooklyn-tough-guy EDDIE G. spoke/communicated with NATALIE WOOD at parties in RUSSIAN - both their 'native' languages] Well anyway in his best Brooklynese-touch-guy accent EDDIE G. proclaims to the assembled huddled ancient Jews:"Yeah -- so would'ya think of your Messiah now?" Gets me laughing everytime. Hope you all enjoy a HAPPY EASTER.[SIGMUND FREUD wrote an interesting/controversial paper dealing with i believe it was titled 'ON MOSES AND MONOTHEISM' only a couple of pages as i remember for more info on CHUCK HESTON as MOSES or YUL B. as RAMESEES and the incredible cast of this picture that included CEDRIC HARDWICKE, YVONNE DeCARLO[before LILY MUNSTER fame], JOHN DEREK[before he married BO], VINCENT PRICE, DEBRA PAGET, FRANK De CORDOVA[before he was one of the chiefs on F-TROOP], HENRY WILCOXON[the 'great' silent film movie star] and assorted other stars. [And of course there was JOHN CARRADINE - lead in so many 'horror' flicks and appearing in 'THE PRISONER OF SHARK ISLAND, and in the 'classic' CAPTAINS COURAGEOUS and as 'Colonel Lucius Starbuck' in 'THE MAN WHO SHOT LIBERTY VALENCE' and the father of 'Mr. Kung Fu' DAVID CARRADINE - JOHN CARRADINE who played MOSES' brother AARON!]
