![]() Leader Sir Giles wishes to give the valued mummy to the Egyptian government for its National Museum, to preserve that country’s culture, and the Egyptians offer some money in return. In Hollywood lore, the opening of a pharaoh’s tomb means a curse is cast on the infidel defilers of the tomb and those who gaze upon the mummy will die. In 1900, in the Egyptian desert, the tomb of Ra-Antef, the pharaoh, is excavated by an expedition of British archeologists led by the renown Sir Giles Dalrymple ( Jack Gwillim ) and financed by the crass American entrepreneur Alexander King (Fred Morgan). Michael Carreras (“The Steel Bayonet”/”Maniac”/”Shatter”), whose pop is head of Hammer Studios, where the film was made, directs this stale and uninspired formulaic mummy pic, a sequel to The Mummy (1959). “S tale and uninspired formulaic mummy pic.
