What The Egyptian Is About
Sinuhe grows up a poor orphan, becomes one of the finest physicians of his age and enters the service of the new pharaoh alongside his friend Horemheb. The setting is eighteenth-dynasty Egypt, where a pharaoh who believes in a single god shakes both the court and the country. Michael Curtiz adapted Mika Waltari's internationally bestselling novel and dressed the Amarna period in Hollywood's idea of splendour. Marlon Brando walked away from the lead and Edmund Purdom took it. Alfred Newman and Bernard Herrmann wrote the score together, which is what the film is most often praised for now.
