| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzThe historical drama suffers for being undramatic. |
| User ReviewMaria CThis is the film where Tyrone Power met his future wife, Annabella. Beautiful production with beautiful people. Nothing is historically accurate of course. Zanuck let Power put some gray at his temples to indicate age. This is a very entertaining film with some wonderful effects. |
| User ReviewAlly CMeh. This surely doesn't make my favorites list, but it's better than some Tyrone Power movies I can name such as "Untamed". If you like history and romance then this is a movie for you. I still liked it but I didn't love it. |
| User ReviewKevin M. WI noticed 10 minutes into the film that Loretta Young's dresses for any crowd scene were bigger and brighter than any other women in the scene. That's how I knew that the truth was not a priority here, or indeed even the Suez Canal of the very title. So settle back for some light drama, some light celebrity name-dropping, some costumes, some history light, and don't worry if you miss a scene or two on your way to the bathroom. Look for character actors you might've seen in others flickers - they're here hidden under make-up. Eh. |
