I wouldn’t say that this was Jack Hawkins’ finest film and it certainly isn’t something that would have kept Cecil B. de Mille awake at night but it is watchable enough despite the script being a bit garrulous. Hawkins’ Pharaoh Khufu tasks a captive James Robertson Justice to design and build a tomb that cannot be robbed – and the film tells a tale of court intrigues, greed and lust for power whilst that is being built. Joan Collins is frankly terrible but bedecked in fine gowns and jewels, she just about gets away with it as his ambitious second wife “Nelifer”. For all it’s glitz and glamour though; it is all just a bit too wooden. I did like the ending though!
Review By: CinemaSerf

The barbarous love that left Egypt’s great pyramid as its wondrous landmark.

Land of the Pharaohs is directed by Howard Hawks and collectively written by Harold Jack Bloom, William Faulkner and Harry Kurnitz. It stars Jack Hawkins, Joan Collins, James Robertson Justice, Dewey Martin and Alex Minotis. Music is by Dimitri Tiomkin and cinematography by Lee Garmes and Russell Harlan.

It falls into the filmic splinter of historical epics that thrived greatly in the 50s and 60s, where a cast of thousands are costumed up to the nines, the sets sparkle and location photography smoothes the eyes. Land of the Pharaohs has all these things, what it does lack is a high end action quotient, the makers choosing to craft a picture about intrigue in Pharaoh Khufu’s (Hawkins) court as the great pyramid is constructed. This is not to say it’s a dull picture, it maintains interest throughout, with shifty shenanigans afoot, femme fatale connivings and plenty of slaves standing proud for their cause. While the big finale is devilishly potent.

However, one has to really close off the ears at times to avoid the dreadfully wooden dialogue, and some scenes are painfully misplaced, such as the sight of a miscast 45 year old Hawkins wrestling with a bull, I kid you not. Also miscast is Collins, undeniably sexy, but never once does she convince as an Egyptian princess, and her make-up is awful. There are stars in the film, but it does in fact lack star power. The real stars are Tiomkin, Garmes and Harlan, who each bring the spectacle of the production to vivid life. It was a minor flop at the box office and Hawks pretty much disowned it, but it’s not without intelligence and in spite of its flaws it’s a good watch for historical epic loving adults. 6.5/10

Review By: John Chard
Great for its genre
It’s hard to know how to rate movies like this because the genre is so inherently cheesy. In the grand scheme of all cinema, it probably should only get a 6 out of 10, but within the “swords and sandals” genre, it surely rates a 10! There are many classic themes here: an aging man’s wish to be remembered through a great monument, a slave’s desire to win freedom for his people, an ambitious woman’s lust for power at any cost. Of course, everything is overacted and obvious as hell, but the plot stays focused, unrolling inexorably to it’s horror-movie ending. This is Saturday afternoon escapism at its best.

Camptastic!
This film manages to combine the worst of the 1950s bloated historical epic: cheesy dialogue, stilted acting, and spectacle over substance.

Everyone gives an uninspired performance. You have Jack Hawkins struggling to make his self-obsessed pharaoh credible while Joan Collins vamps it up as the femme fatale who seeks to usurp his throne and his treasures. Her performance is terrible but also absolutely hilarious, melding together sensuality with unbridled kitsch.

The sets and spectacle are impressive, to be sure. I can see why director Howard Hawks was proud of that. However, he rightly regarded The Land of the Pharaohs (1955) as an embarrassment. Only lovers of camp will get a kick out of this.
