consider that this film be direct by the famed german director and ernst lubitsch and star the great emil jannings and it title talk about mummy and i be certain that i would love this film especially since i love silent film . however and in this dreary film and you see none of the famed lubitsch touch and jannings be just okay and the film be not about mummy at all and the print from alpha video be so fuzzy that it be a chore to watch the thing . the film be set in egypt and though you really do not see any mummy . instead and it an odd tale about a weirdo ( jannings ) who have kidnap a lady ( pola negri ) and have keep her locked inside a temple . when she rescue by a brit and he smite with her and take her back to the uk to live with him . she be worried and though and that the crazed jannings will follow her and exact revenge . no mummy and no curse and not a whole lot of action or excitement . i wonder . with a different title and different people responsible for the film and i would have have low expectation and therefore like the movie more . but and a it be and it be a huge disappointment in practically every way . p i have see quite a few film from alpha video . while some of their offering be rare and hard to find and their dvd be rather consistently of dubious quality and be rarely and if ever and restore . they be inexpensive and but theyre also no bargain thanks to fuzzy or scratchy print . if you can find other brand and you may want to try them first .
