Tentang film ini

Director Howard Hawks, who worked brilliantly in practically every movie genre, shows his mastery of the large-scale epic with this gigantic production filmed on location in Egypt. Thousands of extras (9,787 in one scene alone!), magnificently detailed sets (including the pyramid's inner labyrinth, booby-trapped so no one can learn its secrets and live) and vast desert vistas fill the screen and astonish the eye. There are also human-scale stories. Of the Pharoah (Jack Hawkins) who orders the pyramid as his tomb, dooming untold numbers to unending toil. Of the architect (James Robertson Justice) designing it to earn his people's freedom. Of the slaves constructing it of blood and sinew. And of the beautiful queen (Joan Collins) whose greed leads to murder - and a stunning revenge!

I love Jack Hawkins! I'm older now, but when I was just a little girl, I loved watching all the pomp and ceremony, and wow, all that treasure!!

WHITE EGYPTIANS AND SLAVES ?. OLD HOLLYWOOD FICTION !!. NOT HISTORICALLY ACCURATE !!.
