Hammer came out with a second murderous mummy film although this one has no connection with The Mummy apart from the re-use of Michael Ripper and George Pastell in different parts. It's a very dull movie which has little new to offer and badly misses the star presence of a Lee or Cushing.
A group of Egyptologists including a female Annette Dubois excavate a mummy's tomb amid the usual dire warnings of a curse from the locals. Their backer Alexander King ( Fred Clark ) wants to exhibit him a la King Kong. The mummy is one of two feuding brothers and there's a flashback to his death. In the meantime, Annette is wooed by Adam Beauhamp ( Terence Morgan ) , a mysterious playboy who seems to know rather too much for an amateur.
Jeanne Roland ( as Annette Dubois )
Sex : Great cleavage
Death : Survives
Jeanne was really Myrna Rollins, an Anglo-Burmese actress born in Rangoon and her lines had to be over-dubbed to maintain the fiction she was French. She had a small part in You Only Live Twice in 1967 but disappeared from view not long afterwards. She is now 80.
