Years ago I went to a book signing & brought an original still photo of Joan from this film. When I asked if she’d be kind enough to sign it she had me come stand next to her & held it up for the onlookers to see. She said “now here’s a fan!” I told her I’d always liked her in that role as she was at her evil best and gorgeous at only age 20. She then proceeded to reenact her final lines & told me she had a horrible time trying to keep the plastic gemstone glued in her navel. She then laughed & said “gosh, I did look good then didn’t I?” She was around 70 then & although she had on a lot of makeup it was obvious she had not had any work done. Her face had wrinkles & appeared very natural which made her still very striking & beautiful as well as sexy! For anyone who thinks she is fake or overrated I can say she was fun, friendly & the real deal. Classy & appreciative of everyone. I can well imagine the effect she had on men in 1955!

What REALLY makes Nellifer's death so hideous to contemplate is the awareness that she will live on for days after the last torch goes out, and she is plunged into total, absolute darkness, until she starves or suffocates. Mary Queen of Scots' husband Bothwell was chained in a room in absolute darkness; it took him very little time to go completely insane. Even more ghastly, he lived on in that state for five years.

I was fascinated by Egypt as a child, and remember receiving a glossy grown-up guide to the Tutankhamen exhibition for my 6th or 7th birthday. Can't have been too much later that I saw this film, and was captivated all the way to the end, when the final scene left me ecstatic at the ingenuity of Peter Ustinov's architect, with his sandy take on hydraulics, and awestruck by the self-sacrifice of the priests, accompanying there Pharaoh on his journey into the hereafter. So many of the comments here remark a memory of this film from childhood. It must be the mesmering appeal of the Pyramids and the mystery of the people who built them.

my take on this was Heymar couldnt protect his Pharoah from Nellifer and knows the young Pharoah is in mortal danger as long as She is Regent as an earlier scene from this movie is when Heymar and The Pharoah recall something from their youth Heymar says 'You won the Fight and took the ring' and Pharoah replies 'and you tricked me into some wager and had it back by nightfall' Heymar knew Pharoah was Stronger but Pharoah knew Heymar was smarter and wiser than him so Respected him so he outwits Nellifer by tricking her into giving the order that will condemn her to a Fitting Death as He Knows what she did as look at his eyes he is practically saying it as in Ancient Egypt Murderers were often buried alive with their victims to serve them as a slave in the after life why Heymar was trusted by Pharoah he told him what he needed to hear not what he wants to hear as that is a true Trusted Counsel

I love this crazy movie, with all its flaws....with the exception of Joan Collins, it had wonderful people in it, and it was so dramatic and colorful and just pure fun. I truly love the ending of it...little Princess Nellifer got what was coming to her, after her career specializing in nastiness and murder.

Luckily I saw this movie when I was a teen, so I could more appreciate the "sick" way to get a (postomous) revenge on your murderer, don't forget how strong the ancient egyptians believed in afterlife's awards & punishments, so we could only imagine how will be her personal inferno.

I know everyone enjoys seeing Nellifer get her comeuppance, but...remember, she was sent to Khufu as *tribute*, meaning basically a sex slave, not as a wife. Frankly, when you conquer someone's island (She was a princess of Cyprus, if memory serves), slaughter huge numbers of her people, then lay a tribute of grain so heavy that it literally can't be done with the number of people you have left to work the fields (and thereby set up an excuse to oppress the island even more) therefore meaning the princess has to go as alternate tribute, frankly expecting honesty from her is laughable. She's obviously not doing it for any noble motive, but you can't blame her for screwing over the Pharaoh who screwed over her and her kingdom.

Actually... this film's denouement is really the best scene in the whole darn film. It's the ultimate revenge! When Nellifer (Collins, who milks it for all its worth) having "plotted and schemed" to murder her consort, the late pharaoh, Khufu (Hawkins) receives her "just desserts" for her treachery only to be sealed up and forever entombed in an airlock till the air runs out. (Not an uncommon practice in ancient Egypt. The belief was that the Pharaoh would cross over with any spoils of war he was rightly entitled to as well as his many wives, living or dead, who would join him in the afterlife.) Go figure?

Actually, imurment was not common for Egypt. People were mummified and buried when they died, in adjoining temples. Lots of items were sent in effigy, but not buried alive.

The movie is about Pharao Khufu and building the Great Pyramid. The pyramids where already ancient when the egyptians start to bury their kings and queens in the two adjacent valleys 1000 years later. But next to the big pyramids are small pyramids for the wives. At the end of the second dynasty with Pharao Seth-Peribsen the custom to take some people as helpers with them to the after life had been suspended. Khufu was Pharao in the fourth dynasty, around 200 years later. Although some Pharaos have grown very old, many of them and especially their wives died young. To kill half of the royal household wouldn't have had made sense when the next pharao was still a child. And I'm sure there were other ways to get rid of a to greedy second wife if it was necessary - accidents happens all the time - as to bury her together with the pharao. But it makes a very good ending in this movie. 🙂

awesome movie, the way they used sand is very interesting, they did actually seal tombs that would lock in place, using resin and copper pins I think, the pharaoh though has some of the skinniest arms I've ever seen-haha, I think all these ancient egyptian films are interesting because they didn't use cgi so they'd have to kinda replicate ways that stone was moved and how the cities and clothing looked, and it kinda gives us a glimpse of how it might have looked, that's what the pyramids actually looked like with their smooth limestone casing stones in place..just imagine..while also telling us how much we've learned since and how much there's still left to learn about the ancients, every generation thinks they have it figured out and they never really do
