While on a dig in Egypt, British archaeologist John Banning (Peter Cushing) desecrates the tomb of Princess Ananka, awakening her mummified lover (Christopher Lee). With revenge on his mind, the mummy follows Banning and the rest of his group back to England, but becomes quite taken with Banning's wife (Yvonne Furneaux), who resembles the princess quite closely. ~ John Bush, All Movie Guide

Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing star in Terence Fisher's 1959 version of The Mummy, which comes to DVD with a widescreen anamorphic transfer that preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.85:1. English and French soundtracks are rendered in Dolby Digital Mono. Subtitles in both languages are accessible. Supplemental materials are limited to a theatrical trailer. Fans of mid-'50s horror films are sure to savor this fine-looking disc, even if it is shy on extra materials. ~ Perry Seibert, All Movie Guide
