Claudette Colbert stars as the Queen of Egypt, and stolid, iron-jawed Henry Wilcoxon is Antony in Cecil B. DeMille’s art deco history pageant. This was state-of-the-art epic filmmaking in 1934, and it still entertains and delights. Colbert and Wilcoxon have good chemistry and both seem in on the joke, which makes everything a lot more fun.
