The first half of the movie is like some homoerotic in-joke. You can almost see David Alan Grier and Damon Wayans (in their gay movie critics parody) on the old "In Living Color" series going ga-ga over all the "sweaty mens" in the film..there is such an emphasis on Charlton Heston's and John Derek's biceps and then there are all those half naked male slaves who seem to be a turn on for their Egyptian tormentors. And Yvonne De Carlo is like some strange cyborg who moves and reacts with the same mannequin-like awkwardness of Tippi Hedren in "The Birds." If only all Bibical films were this much fun!
