Anne Baxter didn't cut it as an Egyptian princess
I kept expecting her to pull a lipstick out of a purse or light up a cigarette.
shareI don't think lipstick's could actually light a cigarette. Even in the 1950's.
shareJust watched the film again last night for the umpteenth time and was bowled over by it. I actually think it gets better every time I see it, and I've been watching it for over 50 years now. Anne Baxter was truly magnificent in every way! If De Mille had substituted Baxter for an Egyptian actress there would have been thousands of fans complaining "why didn't he cast a Hollywood actress in the role?"
