Not really a horror film, though the title suggests that it might be, Die Augen der Mumie Ma (aka The Eyes of the Mummy) is really more of a melodrama, in which an artist (Harry Liedtke) rescues a young woman (Pola Negri) from servitude to a strange man (Emil Jannings) inside an Egyptian tomb, brings her back to Germany, and marries her, but circumstances conspire such that her former master survives to attempt to wreak his vengeance. A historical curiosity, directed by Ernst Lubitsch, the movie doesn’t really have much to recommend it.

  Mildly recommended at best. Otto judiciously thinks this movie is OK, but not great.

Movie 490 for 2021.
