• The Curse of King Tutankhamen's Tomb | DVD | (07/02/2011) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £12.99

  In November 1922, Howard Carter and his backer, Lord Carnarvon, make an extraordinary discovery in the Valley of the Kings, the sacred burial ground of the pharaohs, near Luxor: the tomb of the frail young king, Tutankhamen. But the rumour of an ancient curse, of impending grief and disaster, threatens to mar their triumph... A stellar cast - including Tom Baker, Eva Marie Saint, Robin Ellis, Wendy Hiller, Raymond Burr and Harry Andrews - feature in this lavish HTV drama, filmed on location in Egypt and based on Barry Wynne's bestselling Behind the Mask of Tutankhamen. A small army of over 70 actors and technicians travelled to the Valley of the Kings to make the film, but this stunning, highly authentic production - allocated a budget of over two million pounds - was not without its own drama; the most frightening in a series of on-set incidents saw Ian McShane, originally cast as Carter, narrowly escaping serious injury when his car plunged over a 40ft cliff, leaving several cast and crew members feeling decidedly uneasy about the legend of an ancient curse!
