Today's feature is legendary director Howard Hawks' most underrated film. His only foray into the genre of 1950s CinemaScope ancient world historical epic, this film tells the tale of Egyptian pharaoh Khufu(Jack Hawkins) and the building of the great pyramid. Joan Collins plays his treacherous 2nd wife Nellifer. It and "5 Fingers" feature my favorite endings to a 1950s film.

It's in two links:

I was one in ‘55. We didn’t get a TV until ‘61 or so.

This and many more movies like this were my window to the world before this farm kid left for the city.

One of my favorite movies!

There are so many great almost forgotten movies out there! Who needs this modern Hollywood nonsense!

Very nice theme from the soundtrack, by Tiomkin I think - played on the radio for a couple of weeks......
