It's 1900 Cairo. Ann Mercedes (Eleanor Parker) recruits archaeologist Mark Brandon (Robert Taylor) to search for the tomb of Pharaoh Ra-Hotep and follow in her father's footsteps. She is married to Philip (Carlos Thompson).
I love the Egyptian locations although every other scene is shot in front of a ruin. They are really showing off every bit of location shot. It's an old fashion drama adventure. Parker is dressed to the nines. At times, she's ridiculously over-dressed. The story moves too slowly. It's not much in terms of action. There is a nice sword fight. I like the shocking twist. Mostly, the plot is pretty bland. The story is not much. I do love Egypt and this movie has lots of that.
