This is as good as it ever gets for Hollywood versions of ancient Egypt. It is fairly accurate to the historical record (for Hollywood). I saw this for the 1st time on my 7th or 8th birthday, back in the late 1950s. I was already an Egypt junkie, this just concretized it. It is easy to criticize it now, but no film has ever been as just towards ancient Egypt as this one. Thanks to the person who posted the film - it means a lot to all the people who have never forgotten it.
Obviously the book has much more depth and spiritual implications that the movie did not even hint at but for a Hollywood version this is about as good as anyone can expect. It really hypnotized me when I first saw it 47 years ago. I still listen to the soundtrack all the time.

I appreciate people who take the time to post movies like these.
I think it makes for a richer culture.
