I recently watched this again and the violence depicted in this film is pretty hard core for 1959. I'm really surprised they let this fly back then.

Yeah, hardcore.

Yes! That is actually the scene that really made me go "Ugh!" . Also when they are exiting the below deck of the ship, it looks like one of the slaves is missing a recently severed hand.

Yes but times have indeed changed and you are more than likely to see a film condemn the Israelites for practicing slavery than to simply gloss over it like in Ben-Hur when Esther comes to ask permission for marriage since she is technically owned by Judah. Sure, he freed her but if Judah is such a good guy why not free them and hire them as free men in the first place? These were people he claimed to love.
