The papyrus that Sinuhe is writing in the final scene is preserved and was translated into many languages. That's where I first learned about his lifelong regret. His tale is actually older, 3900 years old but it's timeless. It's deeply human.

The Newman score is perfection.  Michael Wilding was excellent.  Kudos to Victor Mature and Edmond Purdom.

These epics are always great to watch....

Couldn't have picked a better actor to play Akhenaten.

The book, if you can find it, is a beautiful work.  The movie has always done it justice.

I remember reading "The Egyptian,"  "The Etruscan," and "The Roman" all by the same author---I think Mika Walteri????   Excellent books.

How refreshing to be able to hear every word of the dialogue, when today, actors delivering their lines alternate between loud voices in one sentence and whispering in the next.

Hollywood would never EVER under any circumstance make a movie like this, or with dialogue like this today.

Great words of equality- written by an author decades ahead of his time. Thank you Mika Waltari.

I don't know what's more interesting: that Hollywood would make this movie, or that the novel it's based on was a best seller.  Kudos to the 1950s!

Based on perceived actual history  .....
I saw this film many years ago when it first hit the theaters, and several times since.
Terrific film.

Quite profound.

edmond is such a stud muffin and he and peter Ustinov made this film a great epic ..I watch it over and over again...thanks yoututbe!

The speeches of Akhenaton and Sinuhe are simply cosmic! It really sounds like God speaking to humankind through them. So beautiful

Second guard from the right during the great speech bit, lol. He looks so done, he's listened to this through 17 previous takes, methinks, and his helmet is killing him.

Ah, the “cast of thousands”; it never gets old. 😎

Very interesting film. Perhaps it has more overall grandeur than other sand in Spier Epix of the time. But the combined talent of Director Michael Curtiz and The lavish score furnished by Bernard Herrman and Alfred Newman create quite a spectacle!

Instead of the contract player Edmund Purdom, The original idea was to have Marlon Brando play the lead. What a different film it may have been!

Saw this film close to 70 years ago.  Really enjoyed it.😊😊😊

Hmmm. A bit of hokum here! Horemheb did not succeed Akhnaten as Pharaoh of Egypt, although he did gain the throne eventually. Tutankamun became Pharaoh and reigned for approximately 7 years. On his death the throne went to Ai, and on his death after 2 years reign, only then to Horemheb. Horemheb was the last king of the 18th dynasty. He didn't have offspring but chose one of his generals, Ramesses, to follow him.
