Dullard and Right Wing Tattle Tale Robert Taylor Dutifully Goes On Location to Egypt Along with a Great Cinematographer and Former Real Life Flame Eleanor Parker. Always an MGM Workhorse with a Small Amount of Talent, Good Looks, and a Distinctive Voice, He Never Managed to Bring Anything Special to His Movies.
Competent and Willing was Robert Taylor. In this "Travelogue" it is Egypt's Tourist Locations that Highlight, Always in the Background and are a Sight to Behold. Today's Audiences are Jaded by All the High Definition Documentaries on Multiple Channels, there is Never a Shortage of Footage from All of Those Monuments that the 1,000 Year Civilization Left Standing. So This May Not be that much of a Draw.
The Movie is Rather Lackluster in the Foreground and is Talky but Doesn't Say a Whole Lot that is Interesting. The Script is Standard Junk and is Almost Blasphemous in Front of those Gigantic Wonders. The Movie Making Crew Just Seems Way Out of Their Element and are Intimidated by the Splendor and the Film Comes Off as Just Workmanlike.
Overall, it is Worth a Watch but for the Most Part it is Creaky in Pace and Scholarly Only in the Most Elementary. It's Eye Candy at Best and an Opportunity Completely Wasted at Worst.
