The only thing to recommend this movie would be the scenes of Egypt's historical sites. But this movie is so incompetent and cheap that most of the time Taylor and Parker are acting in front of previously shot scenes projected on to a green screen. The few scenes that purport to show the stars in those actual locations are shot from behind the pair, leading me to believe those ''live" scenes involved extras. I'd be willing to bet Taylor and Parker never set foot in Egypt.
The sword fight scene is so badly choreographed it's embarrassing for all involved. And the fistfight that so many others here refer to as a highlight alternates from green screen to obvious sound stage, so let's stop pretending it's some sort of highlight.
All that said, I actually think other reviewers are selling Robert Taylor short. He does his best in this dog. But Eleanor Parker is such a stiff she drains the life out of the movie.
They should re-bury this one in King Tut's tomb and forget about it.
