Land of the Pharaohs

No expense was spared for this spectacular tale about one pharaoh who decides to build himself a quiet, modest resting-place with the help of a few thousand slaves. The construction of the real pyramids couldn't have been much harder than it was for Hawks, usually an actor's director, to bring this epic to the screen. A cracking script and a bittersweet ironic ending satisfy those wanting their drama on an epic scale.
