Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaSubmitted to the British Board of Film Censors by E. J. Fancey and passed with a "U" certificate (for all ages) on 19 April 1963. Eventual distributors S.F. managed to get the film a three week run in London's West End and it opened at the Gala Royal on 25 April 1963. Hardly appropriately, S.F. selected German X-film For Love and Others (1959) as the supporting feature. Queen of the Nile did not get a general release on the major circuits in the UK, but was distributed on an optional basis to a fair number of cinemas. After disappearing for 25 years it re-surfaced on the ITV network in 1991.
- GoofsAmenhopis IV changed his name to Akhenaten after converting to the worship of the Aton, and his capital was Akhet-Aton, not Thebes.
- Alternate versionsWest German theatrical version was cut by approx. 14 minutes. Only in 2020 the uncut version was released on Blu-ray/DVD.

Featured review
Nefertiti Queen of the Nile is not without its redeeming qualities. The sets are richly coloured and reasonably lavish, there are a few gems in the script, my favourite being "the Nile itself cannot wash away my sins", and there are three good performances; Jeanne Crain, who is the epitome of radiance; Edmund Perdum while not a great performance still has a likability to it; and Vincent Price who is diabolical personified. On the other hand, the costumes did have a weird and somewhat cheap feel, I never did get the sense that I was being transported to ancient Egypt, and the music has some nice moments but forgettable within minutes after the film ending. Apart from a couple of gems, the dialogue is embarrassingly banal, the story lacks any kind of lustre and bite and was sort of ridiculous too and of the characters only the three main ones were defined well, everyone else was stock and just there for the sake of it. In conclusion, neither good or bad, fairly entertaining if you are in a good mood but at the end of the day little more than that, for me that is. 5/10 Bethany Cox
