DVD Reviews of Land of the Pharaohs
DVD Review: Pharoah and the Tramp
Summary: 4 Stars
This film will well satisfy a urge for an ancient Egyptian excursion. On-site location photography, "Warner's Color", drama, excellent interior sets, bunch of good actors, lotsa minions. All adds up to alot of fluff, but heck it's enjoyable fluff well made. Belongs in anyone's Egypt collection.DVD Review: Money well spent
Summary: 4 Stars
Land of the Pharaohs was a movie that had always remained in my memory as one that had all the contents of a good movie.DVD Review: WTH, fun....
Summary: 5 Stars
Just plain fun....
Joan Collins is always worth a watch, and Jack Hawkins fit this particular part beautifully, too.
A little more "wide screen action", perhaps, and more "history" might have helped, but it's a good way to relax....
If you're careful, you can see that the film makers re-used several sets from inside the pyramid in interesting ways, but spotting that is also fun.
Bunch of stars just for that.
DVD Review: Not DOLBY DIGITAL but great copy
Summary: 4 Stars
Full wide screen, great colour, pro-logic audio. On DVD case
it states Dolby Digital. However, fantastic DVD.
DVD Review: A lot of Sand
Summary: 4 Stars
If you never thought sand could be interesting then you should watch this movie.
Of course it's not about sand, that would be boring. It's about a pharaoh who's decided to build a pyramid, and he wants it to be robber proof. He finds one of his captives, who was the best architect in his land, and instructs him to build the tomb. The architect does and in a most ingenius way provides the solution to the robber problem. That's where the sand comes in and it really is pretty cool.
Along the way the drama comes in with Princess Nellifer. She's gorgeous, firey, smart and dangerous. Pharaoh falls for her, marries her and pretty much seals his fate. She schemes to own all he has. Unknowingly she also seals her fate in the process.
The whole movie is pretty fun to watch. It's a 50's movie, so the dialogue and action are pretty cheesy. The costumes are over the top and it's not 100% historically accurate, but this is a really fun movie to watch with the family.
Description of Land of the Pharaohs
The Great Pharaoh orders architech Vashtar to build him the highest pyramid in the world as his tomb. After fifteen years, the work slows as the treasury diminishes. The Pharaoh tries to exact tribute from Cypress, which is ruled by the beautiful and ruthless Princess Nellifer. Impressed with her abilities to charm, the Pharaoh marries her. But Mellifer plots to kill the ruling family - so she can rule Egypt.General DVDs
