The Mummy

Doesn't come unravelled. This lively Hammer reworking of the classic mummy material stars Peter Cushing as John Banning, one of three British archaeologists who desecrate the tomb of an Egyptian princess, awakening Kharis (Lee), her mummified lover, who was buried alive with the princess when she died.
