Sphinx 1981 Trailer
Vu le casting, c'est un insupportable gâchis plus qu'un navet qui pourrait faire rire à ses dépends. À éviter absolument! ~sigh~ why do some movie adaptations go and change the whole book? needlessly altered characters, much worse structuring of plot, and an almost entire absence of the nuance that made the book so great and that made dr. erica baron an actual woman and an actual whole belief system was lost in the adaptation to screen, so this movie was quite disappointing also for the love of representation!!

I sincerely hope I'm right. " [4] Interiors were filmed in Budapest. Egypt locations include the Cairo bazaars, Giza, the Winter Palace Hotel in Luxor, and Thebes. The tomb set cost $1 million. [5] Lesley-Anne Down got married during the filming. [6] Critical reception [ edit] Vincent Canby of The New York Times said the film "never stops talking and never does it make a bit of sense. It's unhinged. If it were a person, and you were trying to be nice, you might say it wasn't itself. " He continued, "Mr. Schaffner and Mr. Byrum have effectively demolished what could have possibly been a decently absurd archeological-adventure film. The locations... are so badly and tackily used that the movie could have been shot more economically in Queens... The performers are terrible, none more so than Mr. Langella, who is supposed to be mysterious and romantic but behaves with all of the charm of a room clerk at the Nile Hilton. " In conclusion, he called the film "total, absolute, utter confusion. "

Academy Award winning director… Finally, Franklin J. Schaffner is able to combine pulp sci-fi and historical epics with a movie about aliens building the Ancient Egyptian architecture. Crazy as that mythology is, I'm glad Hollywood managed to produce an Egyptian epic without a mummy, but there's a lot wrong with this having Dracula. Being played by Frank Langella isn't enough for an "Egyptian" collector for the United Nations to lead this expedition, as an English Egyptologist comes to Egypt in search of particular valuables. Hoping to make her name by finding a fabled treasure tomb, she ought to lie low, rather than try to solve the murder of an art dealer. She soon finds herself on the run from bloodthirsty black marketers, along the… This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth. When the archaelogical thriller Sphinx opened in February 1981, it failed on its own terms, but when Steven Spielberg unveiled his own like-minded film, Raiders of the Lost Ark, later in the same year, it made Sphinx feel even more embalmed and tiresome than anyone already thought.
Sphinx Movie 1981
Description Lesley-Anne Down (Upstairs Downstairs), Frank Langella (Frost/Nixon) and John Gielgud (Arthur) star in this occult-tinged thriller based on the best seller by Robin Cook (Coma, Outbreak). Directed by Franklin J. Schaffner (Patton), Sphinx bristles with peril and shines with the eye-dazzling landmarks of ancient Egypt – as well as a close up look at the lavish treasures of Tutankhamen, filmed with special permission. A determined young anthropologist (Down) has come across a clue leading to a long-forgotten royal tomb. And pays no mind to the notion that Egypt's last undiscovered treasure may carry a curse – and perhaps that there may be some black marketeers eager to sustain the illusion of such a curse…in a fashion as terrifying as any scary ancient legend.
