Superb movie. Wonder why ABC keeps showing Ten Commandments and not “The Robe”?
I read that “The Ten Commandments” has been a perennial favorite for ABC since 1973. The one Easter they didn’t air it caused a lot of negative public feedback, hence they continue that tradition(I watched a lot of it last night myself).
“The Robe” will also air on TCM tonight at 8PM Eastern.

Both films are great entertainments made in the era when the general American consensus was to be Christian, patriotic, pro-life and pro-natural family.
Wonder why ABC keeps showing Ten Commandments...”
I for one was so surprised when I flipped through the TV offerings last night and was delighted that they were even showing anything dealing with Christianity. Would be wonderful if they would show The Robe and the Ten Commandments back to back all day, particularly during Holy Season but that will never happen.
I admit I love “The Ten Commandments.” I always get choked up when the Israelites leave Egypt.
And how can you not love Edward G. Robinson as Dathan, LOL?
