Moses the Lawgiver (1974)

Additional Information

Additional Information
Originally filmed for British television as a six-hour miniseries, Moses appeared in the U.S. in 1975 as a 2 1/2-hour theatrical release. God's lawgiver (Burt Lancaster) is chosen by God to deliver the Israelites out of Egypt, across the Red Sea and into the promised land of Canaan.


This biblical spectacular, which ran in hour-long segments over a six-week period and then turned up theatrically in a severely edited version not long after its initial TV showing, marked Burt Lancaster's TV acting debut, as well as that of his son, William (as Young Moses), best known as the writer of the hit movie "The Bad News Bears." A multi-national cast, working in Israel and the Negev, found itself trapped during the 1973 Arab-Israeli War while filming this leisurely paced but very expensive production.
