Well, I concept it would never approach out on DVD. Perhaps it’s my passion for all things obsolete Egyptian, but I have always loved this wonderfully delightful legend. Howard Hawks was a director who steadfastly refused to be pigeon-holed, making everything from Bogey’s “The Spacious Sleep” to sci-fi classic “The Thing” (although he credited editor Christian Nyby instead of himself) to stock car racing “Red Line 7000.” Here he takes a shot at “historical” yarn and does a damned fascinating job of it. Pharaoh Jack Hawkins plays straightman to Joan Collins’ campy concubine while James Robertson Justice does a terrific job of keeping a straight face as a tomb architect. Amidst all the stone monuments, the only thing wooden is Dewey Martin as Justice’s son. All this may not sound like a **** movie, but it’s a guilty pleasure I’ve watched so many times on VHS that it’s embarrassing. That’s gotta be worth extra credit.
The only thing that mars this magnificent presentation is Bogdavoch’s commentary. Not only does he have nothing obvious to say about the film, he actually has NOTHING to say at all. His presence on the track can only be explained by his having an ancient taped interview with Hawks in which he leads the director to discuss DeMille and dump on his movie. A total end of time when there is so noteworthy to look on cloak. But come by it anyway! It’s a huge ‘Land’.”
