Demille is long gone and so is Charlton Heston for the title role for a while I thought maybe George c. Scott would make a better Elijah figure than Heston anyway but he s gone to all we ve got left are these child actors in Hollywood and none of them really at all would reach the level of this acting job. The drama of the story lies in how he lived had this big window on Mount Carmel and days later was fleeing for his life from a woman. You remember don t you he he said as the Lord God lives before whom I stand there shall not be do no reign these years but according to my word then he disappeared for 3 and a half years is amazing this guy the architect of all prophets really the power of this man and he had hardly anything to say just that short sentence and he was gone so here he is he comes back he says I m going to make it rain but let s get every
Regular basis but all the worries and stresses and longings and desires that were part of my natural human ness as well as my sinfulness came flooding in.
