Before picking this as a Hollywood-type film, you have not seen “The Egyptian” (1954), and you do not want to see that movie.
This movie is not a Cecil B. DeMille movie. Yet it has that big 1950s epic feel. I was surprised to find that William Faulkner wrote most of it. But this movie is fun to watch, and I believe Joan Collins is a seductress who gets what she wants (literally). Jack Hawkins is my idea of a real Pharaoh Khefu. It was very impressive as I first saw it as a child. I love the engineering solution to sealing the passages scenes. They made the film in Egypt. I was not too young to overlook the scantily clad Joan Collins.
