there be many film now on dvd and but producer have forget some tittle of importance to many moviegoer . the egyptian and along with el cid and other favorite of the era of the wide screen and big budget epic have merit . many people from my generation learn a lot about history of egypt and medieval spain and even the inca and ( the first time i heard from them be a very cheap adventure movie with charlton heston call the treasure of the inca ) and same happen to me with egypt and or rome see many bad epic of the era . many production value and excellent use of color ( the de luxe color be more brigit and sharp that the ordinary technicolor ) and maybe the cast be wrong but in any case and the film do manèged to give u idea of the life in ancient egyptin and be in a way the motor to go out and buy the novel and my mika waltari and one of the best and if not the best historical novel ever publish . also oust anding be the superb score by alfred newman and bernard herrmann . i saw this film many time when i be a boy and it be not the big box office hit that fox studio want to afther the robe enormous hit and in cinemascope and stereo be a wonderful eye pop sp4ectacle . i have the lasser disc version . m the only way to see ito it wdisescreen format . soon i hope will appear .
