Gene Tierney & Peter Ustinov

In eighteenth-dynasty Egypt, Sinuhe, a poor orphan, becomes a brilliant physician and with his friend Horemheb is appointed to the service of the new Pharoah. Sinuhe's personal triumphs and tragedies are played against the larger canvas of the turbulent events of the 18th dynasty.

Short on historical accuracy but strong on plot and characterization.

Mary Wilson is married to Fred and she prepares for their 16th wedding anniversary party with tranquilizers and booze. The guests are clients of Fred's, a successful tax attorney. Harry and wife Helen are two of the guests. Helen offers herself to Fred, as Mary entertains thoughts of bedding down with the playboy Sam or a young gigolo. Agnes is the level-headed housekeeper who wryly observes the proceedings. Mary ends up in the hospital in need of a stomach pump after a half-hearted suicide attempt. After the incident, her incredulous husband shallowly suggests that she needs a hobby. All is not well in the suburban Shangri-La in this feature, that tends to sympathize with the suburban housewives who console themselves with pills, booze & promiscuity, highlighted by an all star cast.

On his right hand: a ring with a cracked stone; engraved on the inside of the band is the inscription, "From G.V." Armed with these meager clues, the man, adopting the name "Buddwing" (inspired by a passing Budweiser beer truck and a plane flying overhead), sets out to learn his true identity. Along the way, he encounters three women who remind him in some way of someone named "Grace".
