He says he has always been alone, but has had a long, full life. Cast adrift as a baby in a reed boat on the Nile (common practice in that period and not limited to Moses), he was adopted by a middle-aged couple in the city of Thebes. His adoptive father Senmut (Carl Benton Reid) was a physician who served the poor. As a young man, Sinuhe graduates from the School of Life and is respected as a brilliant physician by his classmates, including his best friend Horemheb (Victor Mature), the son of a cheese-maker, who plans an army career. Sinuhe wants to work for the poor like his father, but has a hard time finding clients. He is approached by Kaptah (Peter Ustinov) who offers to become his servant and garner him some publicity. Another friend of Sinuhe's is Merit (Jean Simmons), a quiet, shy tavern-maid, who is secretly in love with him. SCREENED/AWARDED AT: Golden Globes, Oscar Academy Awards, ...The Egyptian (1954)
