Note that this movie includes a scene in the desert by the Sphinx, and it was impractical and far too costly to build such a set, so that scene was done with the judicious use of matte paintings! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Condition: very good. There is a 1 1/4" tear and larger piece of yellowed tape on the front of the upper right corner of the card pictured at upper right in our first image set. There are thin pieces of brown paper tape on the back of the bottom and right edges of the title card (pictured at upper left in our first image set) but they were not put there for any restoration purpose. There are some minor scuffs and smudges scattered throughout the cards (mostly around the edges), but they are overall not very noticeable or distracting and other than the above-mentioned single piece of tape on the front of one card, the set is in pretty nice condition.
