When Cecil B. DeMille returned to Paramount Pictures – the studio he helped to build in the 1910’s and 1920’s – in 1932, he was at a career crossroads. His last two pictures for MGM, Madam Satan (1930) and The Squaw Man (1931), had bombed out at the box office and he was in danger of becoming increasingly irrelevant; the Paramount studios were facing a crisis of their own – the company was in danger of going belly up due to the Great Depression. However, The Sign of the Cross – a return to the territory that DeMille had made his best pictures – would prove to be the proverbial spark to the flame that would reverse the fortunes of both the studio and its director. Released on home video by Universal (the current rights holder), Kino has given the movie its Blu-ray debut.
