Sphinx (1981)
Movie ruined by hair color
30 July 2013 - 3 out of 11 users found this review helpful.
I've seen the movie more than once and whether on the big screen or TV, Lesley-Anne Down's hair coloring was so red that it took the attention off whatever was happening in a scene. I kind of got that it made her character more visible in crowd scenes, but it was really an annoyance. Don't know whose idea it was to give her hair such a jarring color, but it was so distracting. The romantic storyline with Frank Langella lacked any chemistry between the characters, it could have been stronger. Loved the Egyptian location and the archaeological treasures, tombs, etc. Made me want to visit and explore the Valley of the Kings. Overall it was a disappointment , not as interesting as the Robin Cook novel.
