The Mummy (1959)


THE MUMMY  (1959)

Hammer horror starring Peter Cushing as an archeologist with a bum leg and Christopher Lee as the reanimated corpse of an ancient Egyptian high priest. Formula monster stuff with some decent production values. Where all that green light inside the tomb comes from is a mystery known only to Hammer. It looks kind of cool, though. Maybe we're not supposed to ask. Lee, wrapped head to toe in bandages, acts mostly with his eyes.
