Rating:  - Hitchcock's Mt Rushmore inspired by Abu Simbel
Anyone who has been to Egypt immediately recognizes the authenticity of this movie's location shooting, which uses real places throughout to present a nearly perfect 1954 travelogue of the Nile Valley civilization. Especially interesting are the scenes at Abu Simbel and Philae, both of which were moved after the film was shot to higher ground, at new locations that are less authentic and dramatic. Great landmarks are shown here before they were taken apart and placed in modern settings that spoiled ... Read More

Rating:  - great mix of authenticity and hollywood schmaltz
this is much more realistic than other egypt films, as it depicts the turn of the 20th century, not ancient egypt. you really get a feel for life in the middle east from the location scenes,the music and work-chants, and evening campfire dancing among the workers. the exterior monestary scenes are obviously authentic too, providing a taste of egypt's midaevil past. and at the "tomb" look carefully at the placement of mirrors at the entrance. this is how it is really done. the story moves right along, ...

Rating: - The Original Raiders of the Lost Ark
This movie has it all over Indiana Jones, because it is not pastiche, not tongue-in-cheek. It dares to take its subject seriously and succeeds beautifully.
Robert Taylor is like William Holden but with more muscle and less irony. Another great movie of his is "Rogue Cop".
One of the charms of this film is that it takes the mystical dimension of the story seriously, and has a wonderful payoff at the very end.
The characters are well drawn. The "exotic" local is filmed ... Read More
Rating: - ANOTHER WARNER BRO. MOVIE NEEDED ON DVD
"VALLEY OF THE KINGS" is another example of classic films whose copy rights are owned by "TIME WARNER INC." that like "Quo Vadis" and "Land of the Pharaohs" are neglected almost to the point of rejection. Still gathering "Star Dust" at their "Warner Bro. Library Vault," awaiting for someone there to released them on Anamorphic Widescreen DVD; or like its the case for "Quo Vadis" released in a format preserving the aspect ratio of its original theatrical exhibition.
It's a real pity that young ... Read More
