The Morning Herald Nr. 279 (Uniontown, Pennsylvania) schreibt auf S. 9 über die Filmmusik, bei der auch Bruckners 4. Symphonie verwendet wurde:
" "TEN COMMANDMENTS" CLOSES HERE TONIGHT
One of the delightful features of the engagement of Cecil B. DeMille's "The Ten Commandments," which closes its run auf the State today with a matinee at 2:15 and an evening performance at 8:15, is the orchestral scoring arranged by Dr. Hugo Riesenfeld and played by an touring symphony orchestra of 20 pieces. The first part of the accompaniment, to scenes in Pharaoh's court and the exodus of the Israelites, is of decidedly Oriental flavor.
A big original theme is used for the pursuit by Pharaoh's chariots and the escape of the children of Israel through the divided waters of the Red Sea. The director derives the lighter motifs of the ancient story from the romantic Bruckner's symphony. Accompanying the orgies of the Golden Calf worship, selections from Rubinstein's "Demon" opera are adapted.
In the modern tale [... über den Schlussteil der Geschichte ...]. The final themes of healing–in the New Testament episode, and the scene of saving Mary from a fate worse than death–are adaptations from "Holy, Holy, Holy" and "The Rock of Ages."
The story of "The Ten Commandments" written by Jeanie MacPherson brings into sharp contrast [... altes Ägypten und heutige Zivilisation (= 2. Teil in San Francisco) ... Hauptdarsteller ...]." (***).
