Trash, but trash with style!

An odd kind of movie, but fascinating for its completely wooden lead and for the performances of Ustinov and Mature.

"The Egyptian" is an epic movie with a muddled plot and below average acting.

Inherently bizarre but - because of these flaws, uniquely arresting. Its most astonishing trait is how earnestly it jumps through several flaming hoops to make it fit into the then-vogue "Biblical Epic" subgenre.

Nice lavish sets and costumes make this entirely watchable.

Not great, but intriguing as an unusually un-epic and downbeat historical saga for its time.

Production push (Zanuck-Curtiz) but barely a beating pulse. Good score by a glorious tandem (Newman/romance+Herrmann/pageantry)
