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.

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?

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. 🙂

They were not killed. They wanted to go with whom they had loved in life. Life and death had different meanings then.

A cynic would say that Pharaoh might not want some of his wives in the second life.

This looks like an amazing movie, but a very dark one! I think that last scene could give me nightmares, and I know it's not the only one. Interesting as the concept is, I'm also amazed by the extravagent disregard for the actual Great Pyramid.

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
