The Egyptian * (1954, Edmund Purdom, Jean Simmons, Victor Mature, Peter Ustinov, Gene Tierney) – Classic Movie Review 2252
For this 1954 movie set in a before-Christ era 18th-dynasty Egypt, a wan-seeming Edmund Purdom replaced Marlon Brando as Sinuhe, a poor orphan boy who becomes a brilliant physician. And, accompanied by his friend Horemheb […]

Carry On Cleo **** (1964, Sidney James, Joan Sims, Amanda Barrie, Jim Dale, Kenneth Williams, Kenneth Connor) – Classic Film Review 1133
In 1964, the Carry On team make one of their very best, most loved movies, hilariously spoofing Elizabeth Taylor’s film Cleopatra, using the sets they abandoned at Pinewood studios when filming moved to Cinecitta in […]
Land of the Pharaohs *** (1955, Jack Hawkins, Joan Collins, James Robertson Justice) – So Bad It’s Good Movie 1
The laughable 1955 ancient Egyptian historical epic Land of the Pharaohs is a total misfire. It’s very, very bad indeed, but nevertheless great, camp fun for collectors of terrible movies and those who like to […]
Cleopatra ***** (1963, Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton, Rex Harrison, Pamela Brown, George Cole, Hume Cronyn, Martin Landau, Roddy McDowall, Robert Stephens) – Classic Film Review 37
Joseph L Mankiewicz’s 1963 epic film Cleopatra was more famous as a media event than a movie – it’s the moment when Elizabeth Taylor met Richard Burton, creating an unprecedented media storm that helped create […]
