All of these Melissa & Doug floor puzzles are great. I purchased this for our 6 yr. old nephew. He had it completed in about 30 minutes. The pieces are large and the completed puzzle is about 2′ X 3′ which is neat. The colors are vibrant and there is good detail. I will purchase more of these for other kids between ages 5 and 7.

I foung the book to be totally facinating, though I also found it lacking some of the historical facts.
In the same vein of quality as famous Agatha Christie films of the 80′s (Death on the Nile and Death in Mesopotamia), this film helps you lose yourself in the glamorous atmosphere of North Africa in the 20′s.
The excellent cast of first-rate British (Wendy Hiller) and American (Eva Marie Saint) movie stars, combined with actual footage from the Valley of the Kings, the Temples at Luxor and dusty markets on the pper Nile, builds an atmosphere at once authentic and glamorous.
Most importantly, you feel the excitement and uncertainty of Carter’s explorations. One of the great moments in the film occurs in the dusty cave when Carter takes an axe to the outer wall of what he hopes is King Tut’s tomb.
The real drama in this movie is in experiencing these discoveries as if for the first time. The so-called curse is not a front-burner sub-plot, and is actually handled with a sense of mystery, rather than the gore and overtness of some other “Curse of the Mummy” movies of more recent times.
A more interesting sub-plot revolves around Eva Marie Saint’s character — playing a thoughtful and sly journalist — which shows how King Tut’s disinterrment gripped the imagination of the entire English-speaking world of the era.
Sure the artefacts aren’t the real thing, but then the same can be said of any Cecil B. DeMille production, of Ben-Hur, of the latest “Mummy” versions I and II. What is real here is the quality of the cinematography, screenplay (very spirited and witty), and the atmosphere, which perfectly captures the glamor-mixed-with-exploration chic of 1920′s Britain and Egypt.
If you like anything done by the BBC (that is to say, historically accurate, with interesting dialogue and characterizations and not just break-neck speed & plot-driven rapid fire special effects), you will love this gem.
Not to mention that, for many of us now, this movie may be one of our few opportunities to view the Valley of the Kings, the temples of Luxor and the Upper Nile near Aswan, in relative safety.
This movie meets all the requirements of LOW BUDGET. It is somewhat entertaining but has gaps in the story line and problems with believing it. Special effects aren’t bad. Most of the story is borrowed from other movies such as the Mummy as well as a small protion from Tombstone, and the Matrix. The actors did a great job considering the budget and the fact that it is far from scary or even cursed. It is difficult to believe that this is a Hallmark production; perhaps it was over edited.
Decent re-imagining of the discovery of King Tut’s tomb.
+ Great effects for a TV movie/miniseries.
+ Good casting
+ Believable locales
+ Good action
+ Good enough story
- Sometimes campy, clunky dialogue
- No depth to the cliche evil council
- Sometimes unbelievable character motivations, actions (female archaeologist screws over entire dig team of their shares/pay by persuading local military into taking over site. Soon after the same workers are totally cool with her)
- Hallmark tried too hard to make Casper look like Indiana Jones, each piece of costume, from the hat to the man-purse. Classroom instruction. Whip.
Still better than Indiana Jones and the Plastic Skulljob
Although a little long, this is a movie well worth looking into. The acting is good, story believable and the sets are worthy of an Indiana Jones movie. Good stuff, don’t miss.
Bought this when I purchased my new Blu Ray from Amazon. [...] it was Blu Ray. It plays great. The colors are fantastic. And, the movie itself turned out to be pretty interesting and entertaining!!!
The film is cursed, not the tomb. Cheap production, 3 hour film could be cut to an hour and half. Not worth buying or even renting.
This unique theme introduces young ones to acient Egyptian items. Its golden hue throughout make it more difficult than the typical Melissa and Doug of similar size. As usual, all M&D puzzles are of high quality thick cardboard that will last and are easy to manipulate. My son and 2 neighbors worked on it for an hour together (ages from 5-8) and found it challenging and rewarding. It is one of my own favorite puzzles as well.
All of these Melissa & Doug floor puzzles are great. I purchased this for our 6 yr. old nephew. He had it completed in about 30 minutes.

It’s a great durable puzzle but what I really love is the image on the puzzle. Dinosaur, sea life and farm animal puzzles seem to dominate the children’s puzzle market. This one is a great image that keeps my kids’ attention.
A re-issue of tracks from Marco Polo 8.223607, 1995. Practically perfect in every way. But the brass could be a bit more crisp and defined. Primarily an early work from master restoration magicians Messrs. John Morgan and William Stromberg. And now at “popular prices.” Don’t delay on this one!

If you are a Korngold fan, this is a must have.
Max Steiner and Miklos Rozsa’s music also shine.
All in all, this is terrific swashbuckling romantic
music.
I picked this CD up as an afterthought while searching for some background music for a play I was putting together, and while it cost less than half of the other swashbuckler soundtrack CDs, it has more tracks than most, more variety than any(dramatic to romantic to action), and solid sound quality. If you’re after a whole collection of the Korngold era tunes in one CD, this is it.
And it will buckle your swash, too.
These performances appeared in 1995 on Naxos’s full-price sister label, Marco Polo, and are among a spate of movie music scores making their appearances now at budget price. Some are wonderful – like Honegger’s score for ‘Les Misérables,’ Georges Auric’s ‘Beauty and the Beast,’ and Wojciech Kilar’s ‘Dracula.’ Some don’t stand up too well on their own, like Steiner’s ‘King Kong’ or Waxman’s ‘Objective: Burma!’. But this one definitely has the best of the best, all in that late-romantic, richly scored music we associate with the genre. The producers have put together some of the best cues from four swashbucklers and from beginning to end this is music to enjoy, with no dead wood anywhere along the way.
The Main Title of Miklós Rosza’s ‘The King’s Thief’ is a heckuva lot better than the 1955 Edmund Purdom movie for which it was written. Victor Young’s ‘Scaramouche’ is represented by nine cues, among them the delightful ‘Main Title’ and the faux-baroque ‘Pavane.’ The inventor of this sort of movie music, Erich Maria Korngold, is here represented by six cues from the 1935 Errol Flynn blockbuster, ‘Captain Blood.’ All five cues are terrific and sweep you along, but I particularly like ‘Slaves–Arabella and Blood,’ a seven-minute tone poem of great beauty and ingenuity. Max Steiner, a transplanted Viennese like Korngold, contributes six cues from ‘The Three Musketeers,’ also from 1935. The love theme is really gorgeous.
These scores were reconstructed by the late Christopher Palmer (‘The King’s Thief’), William Stromberg (‘Scaramouche’) and John Morgan (‘Captain Blood’ and ‘The Three Musketeers’) from conductor’s piano scores; the full scores, like many of their era, were lost. In one case the score had only a violin line. The three arrangers attempted, then, to reproduce the orchestrations from the movie sound track itself, a difficult task at best, but it sounds to me like they did a marvelous job collectively. These orchestrations have the sweep and grandeur of the originals.
The Brandenburg Philharmonic Orchestra (Potsdam, Germany) is conducted by Richard Kaufman. They are beautifully played and recorded.
This one is worth having if you love the flamboyant style favored in adventure films; this is the crème de la crème.
