The Egyptian (1954)
Many sets, costumes and props were reused, and bought from the studios of Darryl F. Zanuck for reuse. The sword of the Hittite Princes, is seen in the latter film in the hands of Clint Walker playing an Egyptian royal guard. This gives a nice feeling of historical continuity, as the events in "The Egyptian" take place during the reign of Akhenaten about 60 years before Rameses II.
