Description

Joan Collins ("Dynasty") stars in this spectacle about the great Pharaoh who used 100,000 people over 30 years to erect a pyramid memorial for a barbarous love. Collins is the sweet yet villainous pharaoh's wife in this Howard Hawks ("Rio Bravo," "Only Angels Have Wings") epic. Co-written by legendary novelist William Faulkner, who earlier collaborated with Hawks on "The Big Sleep."

  • Great movie

    Just a marvelous movie and perfect for a a quiet evening with some popcorn. All the actors are just great and put their heart into it. I particularly liked Jack Hawkins and James Robertson Justice sparing. Both have a power over the other. A good evenings entertainment. One thing, where is the HD version. It was made for it.

  • Classic Costume Drama

    This is a great companion to "The Egyptian" as far as costume epics. Jack Hawkins is at his gravelly voiced best as the Pharaoh. The only down side is the truly awful makup job they did on Joan Collins. They felt that just slathering on a bunch of skin bronzer would make her look more like someone from Cyprus. Sheesh.

  • Love the ending.

    I won't give it away, but the ending of this movie definitely makes it worth watching - quite the twist. This classic has ALWAYS been one of my favorites, and I plan to add the digital version to my collection, as my VHS copy at home is pretty worn out.

  • ok?
