Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe day after shooting wrapped, Gale Sondergaard was called back for some closeups. However, when she arrived on the set in makeup and costume, Charlton Heston entered and presented her with an Academy gold statuette, to replace the plaque she had won for 1936's Anthony Adverse.
- GoofsScenes with David Hedison and Stuart Whitman driving through Los Angelas were full of street noise and car horns honking. For these scenes the two actors were to do their lines over again, but this never happened because of time and cost. This is why you hear a lot of street noise drowning out some of their lines.

Featured review
Great Story!....(Despite Any Inconsistencies)
This was another ABC television movie. Great modern take on the old Egyptian mummy curse idea. When the movie opens, the appraiser is going through the late millionaire's collection of Egyptian artefacts, some of which might have been smuggled. We are left to assume that the collector simply died from natural causes. We don't see the collector in the movie at all. We're given a quick overview of why the appraiser is there and that's it.
The murders don't start until a thief steals the heavy gold amulet from around the mummy's neck, if you remember. Said mummy was a priestess from the cult of Bast, the cat goddess, and the amulet was meant to imprison the spirit of the priestess.
Elements of the old detective story are blended with the supernatural in this tale. We are kept guessing until the very end as to the identity of the mysterious killer.
Great special effects in the scene when David Hedison finally has the showdown with the cat creature!
