Another gem from Leatrice Joy and Paul Sloane. This time our heroine is visiting her archaeologist boyfriend in Egypt, but he is more interested in his diggings than in her. She soon teaches him the error of his ways - in a highly erotic finale where they are locked in a tomb together.
Joy is pursued meanwhile by three desperate suitors who share some good slapstick moments, and some evil Arabs. There is even a flashback sequence to ancient Egypt where Joy and Burns play doomed ancient lovers. And it is beautifully costumed, designed and photographed.
Watch Joy compare her arm to the arm of an ancient cup that her boyfriend describes as beyond compare. This is magnificent silent film acting. Joy's very short haircut must have been quite revolutionary in its day. She looks absolutely gorgeous. Discover this brilliant actress!
