A nitrate release print was discovered in the Czech National Archives, in Prague, in then Czechoslovakia. This print was a subtitled, edited version that was in poor condition, and contained numerous splices. Several years later, a print of the uncut British version was finally discovered.

Featured review
Very Strange, but Very Good
This movie is an entertaining tale of Prof. Morlant (Boris Karloff), an eccentric Egyptologist who is fixated on the powers of the ancient Egyptian gods. On his deathbed he tells his servant (Ernest Thesinger) to bind the sacred jewel called "The Eternal Light" to his hand. He warns that if the jewel is taken, he will return from the grave seeking revenge....
Boris Karloff's presence and a superb cast move this moody, atmospheric classic along at a great pace. This movie has some great dialogue and an interesting plot. It is very rare, but I was lucky enough to find it on video. If you are a fan of the genre, and you happen to find it, I encourage you to rent it, buy it, whatever.
