Digging up sand

Valley of the Kings (1954)

Directed by Robert Pirosh this film stars Robert Taylor, Eleanor Parker and Carlos Thompson. An American archaeologist helps a British woman and her husband hunt down a missing tomb in Egypt.

The plot and characters in this film are decidedly on the weaker side, right from the start the out come is nearly entirely predictable while the script rarely has enough depth to explain character actions. What you want from any film set in Egypt is some great shots of it's iconic land marks and while there are plenty of location shots in the film they do not make up for it's other dificiencies or are they really on par with those of some of the great Hollywood epics.
