archersangelthe don't make epics like this any more. it cost about 13 million to make & you see every penny on screne IMHO. unlike today's movies that cost 50 million or more & you wonder what they spent the money on.
the orgy scene took 3 weeks to film. according to charlton heston's autobiography, the filming of the orgy scenes was so grueling, it prompted one female extra to exclaim, "who do I have to f**k to get out of this movie?!"
according to Hollywood lore, while filming the orgy sequence demille was perched on top of a ladder delivering his directions through a megaphone to the hundreds of extras involved in the scene. after droning on to the extras for a while, demille was distracted by one woman who was persistently talking to another woman standing next to her. demille stopped his speech and addressed everyone's attention to the young woman. "here," demille said, "we have a woman whose conversation with her friend is apparently more important than listening to her instructions from her director while we are all engaged in making motion picture history. perhaps the woman would care to enlighten us all, and tell us what the devil is so important that it cannot wait until after we make this shot!"
after a moment, of silence she spoke up and boldly confessed, "i was just saying to my friend, 'i wonder when that bald-headed old son of a bitch is gonna call 'lunch!'" demille stared at her for a moment, paused, then lifted his megaphone, and then shouted, "lunch!"
