have read all of the comment on this film i be still amaze at fox reluctance to release a full screen restore version in dvd . yes and the history may be a bit inaccurate and it be certainly not as powerful a the book and but it be the 2nd film by fox make in real cinemascope and the production value alone merit a restoration and distribution . i saw this film in second grade and it trigger my lifelong interest in all thing egyptian and culminate in my visiting egypt 4 year ago . amaze the power of film on a child imagination and eh . in high school i read the book and make a promise to myself to one day take that dream trip . now and true this film be make in the old school style and meaning that egyptian be portray by pink skin and blue eye brit . however and have anyone see the current hbo series rome . everything old be olde again . one can not imagine why in this day and age we be still cast actor mince around a mayfair aristocrat in roman drag . not one actor on rome could pass for an ancient italian . that be say and the amarna period in egypt be still one of the most fascinating event in human history . this film be immensely appeal ( to borrow a word from nefer ) for it historical information ( beer . brain surgery . iron . ) and it gorgeous cinematography and score . i have a dreadful taiwan dvd version which i watch over and over again pray that one day a true restore widescreen version will be available . for anyone else interested in this subject i highly recommend the historical novel a god against the god by the author of advise and consent . if anyone of you film buff out there know how to contact fox to urge them on and please let me know .
