The Curse of the Mummy's Tomb (1964)

The members of an archaeological team begin to die one by one after they enter a pharaoh's tomb and collect all its contents.

The actual incidents of most of the film are routine stuff, and altogether unexciting; the solution to the mystery, on the other hand, borders on the delirious, and provides its share of amusement, even though it does not make up for the dullness which prevailed thus far. The film's last act tries to add a little action to it all. Also on the amusing side is the female protagonist's preference for a man who will let her be a housewife over one who insists that she carry on with her career as an archaeologist, which by the way she only took on to earn her father's affection.
