Note that the title of this movie refers to the old expression about someone being "as unmoving as a Sphinx", which is how the deaf mute man in the movie reacts to loud sounds. But the designer of the lobby cards either didn't know this or didn't care, and they put artwork of the actual Sphinx and the pyramids in the border of the lobby cards!
