In what year, did Charlton Heston play Moses in Cecil B. DeMille's movie, "The Ten Commandments"?

Charlton Heston, an iconic film actor, played Moses in the 1956 film, "The Ten Commandments". This film dramatizes the biblical story of the life of Moses, an adopted Egyptian prince who becomes the deliverer of his real brethren, the enslaved Hebrews. In time, it is Moses who leads the Exodus to Mount Sinai, where he receives, from God, the Ten Commandments.

Charlton Heston, who had previously worked for DeMille in The Greatest Show on Earth, won the part of Moses after he impressed DeMille during an audition with his knowledge of ancient Egypt. Interestingly enough, though Moses most likely lived sometime in the early New Kingdom, it was Old Kingdom Egyptian facts Heston used at his audition which won him his legendary role. Heston's newborn son, Fraser (born in February 1955), appeared as the infant Moses and was only three months old during filming.
