The movie covers several decades of the most       tumultios part of ancient Egypt's history. Great sets and costuming. The       script is pretty good except at the end which has way to much Cristian       messaging.        >        > Just watched it on TCM in its original aspect ratio, a most enjoyable film.              (Recent Youtube upload):              Film Scores: The Egyptian (Herrmann and Newman)              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
