Land of the Pharaohs July 20, 2008
I've always loved this movie...I think the dvd is fine quality...the movie is a little campy and the acting a little corny but well worth it...

camp classic July 11, 2008
Great morality tale, with interesting historically accurate touches. Wonderful for character studies, conflict, motivation, foreshadowing and irony. Joan Collins was perfect for the role!

Silliness from the 1950s July 1, 2008
3 out of 4 found this review helpful

This is called a "cult classic" by the sellers because there is probably no other way to persuade people to buy this turkey. Oh yes, and the sexy picture of Joan Collins on the cover. (She appears far less sexy in the film.) With a cast of thousands, Howard Hawks tried to recreate ancient Egypt, turning history into weak soap opera in the process. The crowd scenes are especially amusing; watch all 'dem Egyptians clap their hands in rhythm and make Nazi-like signs of allegiance to Jack Hawkins and his 1955 haircut. An absurd and boring film. And if you like this one, try The Egyptian. Edmund Purdom makes Dewey Martin seem like Laurence Olivier.

The Egyptians Were Certainly Master-Builders May 19, 2008
When I initially viewed this film as a young boy many years ago on "regular" TV, naturally, the most fascinating aspect of the film (for me) was a sexy and erotic Joan Collins. But, years later, in retrospect, I view "Land of the Pharoahs" as a camp masterpiece. Sure, there are many sensational panoramic scenes and the film stars legendary British actor Jack Hawkins. Nevertheless, the story and dialog are definitely predictable and fall flat for most of the film.
But, if you are a Joan "Dynasty" Collins fan, this film will provide an interesting glimpse of her early acting and natural beauty.
