Princess of the Nile (1954)


Directed by Harmon Jones
My rating: 1.5 stars out of 4
IMDb
(Fox Movie Channel)

Spunky Debra Paget is the whole show, in a dual role as Egyptian princess Shalamar and exotic dancer Taura. No opportunity is wasted to show Paget in revealing costumes, wet shirts or compromising positions. As princess, she deals with the invading Bedouins led by Rama Khan. As dancer, both Rama Khan and the sympathetic Prince Haidi fall in love with her. It's silly but entertaining Egyptian escapism with bold 1950s color and set design.
