Watch Princess of the Nile For Free

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Princess Of The Nile is set in the 13th century AD and I always thought that the religion of ancient Egypt had died out by that time. But what we have here is that the city that Debra Paget is princess of on the Nile is still worshiping Isis while their Moslem conquerors are behaving pretty much as conquerors do.The city's salvation just might be Jeffrey Hunter son of the Caliph of Bagdad making an inspection tour of the empire. The real rulers of the city are vizier Michael Rennie and shaman Edgar Barrier with a gang of assorted hooligans enjoying the spoils of conquest. Therein lies the plot of this desert potboiler.The whole cast deserves a round of applause for mouthing this drivel dialog somewhat convincingly. You have a few players here like Rennie and Barrier who have classical backgrounds.What they must have thought.

Basic plot: Set in 13th Century Egypt, Princess Shalimar (Debra Paget) wishes to see the band of Bedouin conquerors, led by the ruthless Rama Kahn (Michael Rennie), ousted from her city. While disguised as dancing girl Taura, Shalimar sees an opportunity when Prince Haidi (Jeffrey Hunter), son of the Caliph of Bagdad, pays a visit. Shalimar, Haidi, and a band of thieves form an alliance to fight back against the tyranny of Rama Kahn.Princess of the Nile is 100% Grade-A Saturday matinée popcorn fun. If you're looking for a serious drama or high art, pass on by. Instead, you'll find sword fights, secret passages, dancing girls, intrigue, a young Jack Elam, a young Lee Van Cleef, and a lot of other hokum that all add up to a good time. At 71 minutes, the movie is quick-paced and never drags. And to top it all off, Princess of the Nile is in glorious Technicolor. What's not to love?One of the biggest draws for me is the cast. Rennie is so deliciously over-the-top evil as Rama Kahn. He's easy to root against. Hunter is equally good as Prince Haidi. Paired with Paget, there's not a more beautiful couple. And, then there's Debra Paget. She is the star of every scene in which she appears. Her dance numbers as Taura are . . . WOW! Just . . . WOW!Overall, Princess of the Nile is a winner with me. I've got not problems giving it a 7/10.

A pretty film with lead actors so beautiful, it almost hurts to look at them. Young Jeffrey Hunter and Debra Paget dazzle in this fun faux- Egyptian adventure/romance. Whether you are straight or gay, male or female, you should appreciate looking at them both.This would be a great date movie (and I wish I could return to this time for just an evening to have a date to see it during its first run)- -it has adventure, romance, a quick-moving plot, and some comic relief. Dancing girls! Evil henchmen! Scimitar fights! What's not to like?As another reviewer said, one of the problems with the the movie is the over-reliance on sets; it'd look even better with more outdoor scenes. In this way, it is of its time, and one of the few ways movies have improved is in use of outdoor and international settings.Recommended. 6.5/10

I agree with all the above comments, with the exception that it is one of the least-appreciated movies. If I hadn't laughed so hard, I most likely would never have watched it. Please don't ask me to watch it again.......although the sets (from earlier movies) were supposed to give the intention it was a high-budget film, the studio just used some folk they had doing nothing to produce this hilariously stupid film. Harmen Jones most likely kicked himself in the rear-end every day after filming was finished, or laughed all the way to the bank - IF he were paid ! Writers Drayson and Adams surely had to be two sissies trying to out-do one another with their plots, and most likely had to stuff towels in their mouths to keep from laughing out loud.Ms. Paget ("Shalimar," what an original name !) was lovely and danced her wigglies with mucho aplomb, looking good. Double-handsome Jeffrey Hunter ("Prince Haidi") should have taken a good look in the mirror to see that his hair-cut was terribly modern and did not budge at any point, no matter how active he was.The cinematography was wonderfully colorful - I just hooted every time the "handmaidens" stood-around in their contemporary wigs and makeup.... one of them even wore gold, high-heels in one scene ! That was the best laugh (for me) through the whole movie. TCM should have warned us they were about to present a saga-turned-comedy.I tried very hard to believe Michael Rennie ("Rama Kahn") really was a sinister beduoin lusting after the cold-natured Paget........maybe he should have tried for Hunter. Those Beduoins are versatile......"The Princess of the Nile" should give you a good boost, if you're down. I loved it, but once was enough.........
