Sir Cedric Hardwicke

Review - Oh! Calcutta!: Stripped of Its Records or Does The Emperor Have No Clothes?
by Michael Dale - Jan 22, 2008

There's a great moment in Cecil B. DeMille's gloriously overblown epic, The Ten Commandments, when Sir Cedric Hardwicke, playing Pharaoh Sethi, upon discovering that his beloved son Moses is really Hebrew, makes a proclamation that the name of Moses must be stricken from the history books, despite his many heroic accomplishments for Egypt, and that his name never be spoken again.  Moses, as far as Egypt was concerned, will have never existed.
