One of the most memorable movie-going experiences I have ever had was seeing The Ten Commandments on the big screen at the La Brea Tar Pits in Los Angeles. It was accompanied by a theater organist who got his start in the 1920's and was a master at his craft. He said he didn't even need music. He knew what to play for each scene because he knew the movie so well.

Some of the scenes were filmed at the Church of Saints Peter and Paul in San Francisco while it was being built. This imposing Catholic church stands near Washington Square in the North Beach neighborhood.

That church in SF is beautiful!
This is St Peter and Paul Basilica in Lewiston, Maine where I grew up.
It is also called The Nickel and Dime Cathedral.

Yes, the church in the Italian section of SF, where DiMaggio and Marilyn Monroe got married.
