While filming The Ten Commandments in Egypt, Cecil B. DeMille went to check one of the cameras perched on one of the massive gates used to film the Exodus scenes, which was supposedly between 107 to 130 feet tall.
It was then that he suffered a significant heart attack. DeMille’s doctor told him that he needed to rest and take time off, but he ignored his doctor’s orders and was back on set within a matter of days to continue his work until filming ended.
