Started watching THE TEN COMMANDMENTS last

to the second part this afternoon.
Only saw this film once prior to this viewing, well
over a decade ago, so the film seems very new to
me still.
I am enjoying it immensely. Cannot believe how
great the restoration looks. I have yet to see one
single scratch or abrasion on the print. Just remarkable
how a film from the 50s could look as if it was shot today.
...but I had a question for you, didn't I.....
The only thing that kind of took me out of the film
was the blue screen backgrounds that clearly looked
separated from the foreground action. The best example
I have seen thus far is when young Prince Moses shows
Sethi the city he has built for him.
I understand the limitations of the effects at that time.
My question is, did audiences in the 50s see the effect
seams that we in 2011 are seeing or is the Blu-ray revealing
a lot more information than what was supposed to be seen?
I may already have the answer, as we briefly talked about
THE WIZARD OF OZ and how Munchkinland on Blu-ray
clearly looks as if it was shot on a sound stage -- something
that wasn't as apparent through DVD and broadcast viewings.
