- TriviaAmerican International Pictures would frequently make use of frozen dollars and cheaper European facilities by sending composers Les Baxter and Ronald Stein to record their scores in London, Munich and Rome. Baxter recounted in a 1981 interview for Soundtrack! that he was sent to Rome in 1967 to score The Glass Sphinx, but was not allowed to conduct the orchestra because of rulings by the Italian music unions. Fortunately, legendary film conductor Franco Ferrara was persuaded to come out of retirement.

Some Interesting Bits at the End Make it Almost Worth Seeing.
Long, tedious, and not really worth a look, The Glass Sphinx tells the story of a group of explorers out to find a great treasure buried with a "glass sphinx" in the desert. There's crosses and double crosses and a good many people die. Buts its not all that interesting, and may very well induce a slumber equal to that of the pharaohs.
There are only two things that are of interest in the movie. The first are some plot twists toward the end that seem mostly unexpected, then again I might have nodded off and missed something. The other good thing is the setting which is Egypt itself where the movie was filmed. So long as the film is out of the desert things are interesting simply because its locations that haven't been used over and over again.
I really can't suggest you see it, but if elephants break into your house, tie you up and make you watch it, you won't have too bad a time.
