LAND OF THE PHARAOHS (1955) ¢ ¢ ¢
D: Howard Hawks
Jack Hawkins, Joan Collins, Dewey Martin,
James Robertson Justice, Sydney Chaplin
Jack Hawkins builds the Great Pyramid, while Joan Collins shows off some prominent architecture of her own. Eye-popping spectacle from the golden age of epics, complete with a Dimitri Tiomkin musical score and the proverbial cast of thousands. The bigger the screen the better when you're watching something like this, but you probably wouldn't want to use it as a study aid for your ancient history final. William Faulkner worked on the script.
