DeMille was one of the first to use sound in his films, and was also a trailblazer in the use of Technicolor.

I'm a big fan of Cecil B. DeMille’s comedies. My favourite is his outrageous pre-code musical sex comedy Madam Satan (1930). Zeppelins, amazing costumes, lots of pre-code naughtiness. It all adds up to delirious crazy fun.

North West Mounted Police (1940), a 1940 Cecil B. DeMille western. He didn’t make movies the way modern critics and reviewers think movies should be made. Personally I prefer DeMille’s way of making movies. He loved melodrama. I love melodrama.

Male and Female (1919), Cecil B. DeMille's take on J.M. Barrie's The Admirable Crichton. It made teenaged Gloria Swanson a star. A shipwrecked aristocratic family needs their butler to save them.

Sophisticated comedy, a fine romantic melodrama and an effective satire. And it’s visually arresting. Great movie.

Cecil B. DeMille’s 1915 silent movie The Cheat was a landmark movie which still stands up remarkably well. The 1931 remake with Tallulah Bankhead isn't quite up to DeMille's standard but it's worth seeing.

A woman obtains a loan, and there's a price to be paid in flesh. And there's the possibility of a cheat. Very precode.

The Cheat (1915) is an early Cecil B. DeMille silent melodrama. It was the movie that put DeMille on the map. And it was one of the movies that indicated that maybe movies should be taken seriously as an art form. And it's very entertaining.

Edith Hardy needs a loan and she finds there's a high price to be paid. With the possibility of cheating.

MANSLAUGHTER is a 1922 silent melodrama directed by Cecil B. DeMille. A spoilt flapper gets herself in hot water. Typical DeMille decadence and outrageousness, with both the debauchery and the moralising melodrama being equally over-the-top.

I loved it. But Then I love all of DeMille's silent movies.

#Cleopatra loses nothing being dubbed in German: it still screams #CecilBDeMille. Liz Taylor, Rex Harrison, and Richard Burton do it proud, even in cheesy German.

And it is cheese most glorious...
