"Wholly Moses!" is a 1980 Biblical spoof similar to that of Monty Python's Life of Brian. Dudley Moore, between star-making performances in 10 and Arthur, plays Old Testament-era idol maker Herschel, whose life and adventures seem to parallel that of the more famous Moses, all the while being misled to think HE is the prophet of God.
