Description:

WIDESCREEN XVID OF FRANKLIN J. SCHAFFNER’S RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK -STYLE ADVENTURE YARN, 1981’s SPHINX STARRING LESLEY-ANNE DOWN, FRANK LANGELLA, JOHN GIELGUD, MAURICE RONET, JOHN RHYS-DAVIES AND VICTORIA TENNANT. RELEASED THE SAME YEAR AS RAIDERS, WITH THE LOCALES AND COSTUMES VERY SIMILAR IN LOOK AND FEEL EXCEPT WITH A FEMALE HEROINE. PRETTY OK, IF YOU SHUT YOUR MIND OFF FOR A BIT AND GO ALONG WITH THE RIDE — JUST DON’T ASK TOO MANY QUESTIONS. WATCH IT FOR LANGELLA AND RHYS-DAVIES IF NOTHING ELSE.

Despite the title, the film itself does with the Sphinx is not connected. Of course, it will appear on the screen, but, in fact, gives only the charm and flavor. The story seems simultaneously too simple for a two-hour picture, and too confusing to be viewed with one eye. It is probably best not to consider “the Sphinx” from a scientific point of view — why should one cry of the protagonist, doctor of Egyptology, when you look at the pyramids: “They’re so big!”. But all that happens involuntarily tighten those interested the viewer into the maelstrom of mysteries and intrigues of the court architect of the Pharaoh Sechi. It is worth noting that the book Robin cook has little in common with the film that turned a short, simple novel in an action-adventure game: the dialogues are replaced by car chases, fights and murders, and all this against the backdrop of the pyramids of Giza.
