Golden Mask, The - Van Heflin, Wanda Hendrix, Eric Portman, Charles Goldner, Jack Lee - 1953
Archaeologist Dr. Burnet (Eric Portman), his daughter Anne (Wanda Hendrix) and newspaperman Nicholas Chapman (Van Heflin) set out to search for the priceless golden mask of Moloch, believed to be in a lost tomb. Two crooks, Kress (Jacques Brunius) and Petris (Charles Goldner), use schemes, tricks and ruses to raise havoc in order to get the mask for themselves. Viewer's comments: - A treasure-hunt movie worth seeing This movie has not been seen anywhere for several years (that I am aware of. The story deals with an archaeologist's passion to find a fabulous golden mask thought to be buried in a Roman tomb. The hunt begins in Rome and ends in the sands of Africa.The pursuers of the mask range in character from good to evil. The movie rather reminded me of the movie,Treasure of the Sierra Madre. Both are in black and white, dealing with greed and the consequences of greed.The flavor of this movie was interesting to me. The rather bleak desert locations were more than made-up for by the depiction of the local tribes and their customs. Unfortunately for this movie, the background music was seriously overdone, almost detracting from it. I find this to be the case often with early European movies. However, if you enjoy treasure hunts and ancient history somewhat fictionalized, this is a treasure hunt movie worth seeing. I'd like to see it again. - Great old fossils are ignored everyday The thing that struck me about this movie was how much it set itself apart from similar 'treasure hunt' movies of its day. None of the acting was so overdone that it became unbareable. And the authenticity of the setting and location were extremely refreshing, peeking through the dusty cotton print that has survived. Van was actually cool. He didn't do any big cliches that was criminal. The Egyptian cast was first rate. No Peter Lorre's and miscast Europeans playing the native tongue to the ground. Jack Lee. BAM.
