Line 14:
The novel was made into a 1954 [[Twentieth Century Fox|20th Century Fox]] film starring Edmund Purdom as Sinuhe, Michael Wilding as Akenaton, Bella Darvi as Nefer, and [[Demetrius and The Gladiators|Victor Mature]] as Horemheb; Peter Ustinov does his usual scene-stealing as Kapteh. It is hard to believe that this rather ponderous movie was directed by Michael Curtiz, the director of ''[[Captain Blood]]'', ''[[The Adventures of Robin Hood (film)|The Adventures of Robin Hood]]'', and ''[[Casablanca]]''. Nevertheless, it has a memorable score by [[Bernard Herrmann]] ''and'' [[Alfred Newman]]. [[Marilyn Monroe]] apparently auditioned for the role of Nefer. The movie has some substantial differences from the novel.
