Synopsis
The farce by French comedian Dandy, filmed in Vienna, refers to the media hype surrounding the Egyptian pharaonic tombs in the early 1920s. However, the elaborate sets and costumes also clearly satirize scenes from Lubitsch's monumental film "Das Weib des Pharao", which ran for weeks in Viennese cinemas in 1922. With the wave of Egyptomania that exploded after December 1922, when the news broke that the unviolated tomb of the Pharaoh Tutankhamen had been discovered, Dandy did not miss the opportunity for parody. The film, directed by Dandy himself, also featured Karl Leiter. The latter, known as "Länglich," was one of the most active Austrian comics in the silent period, and Dandy found in him the ideal support for his only Austrian two-reeler.
