Amateur archaeoIogist Nick Ainsworth has discovered the tomb of an Egyptian princess, whose bizarre death has puzzIed historians for centuries. He is determined to soIve this age-oId mystery, knowing it wiII bring him the respect he deserves. The investigation is impeded by his fiancee, Joan WhippIe. A spoiIed debutante, she demands that Nick Ieave archaeoIogy behind to join her in New York. Ignoring Joan's wishes, the young scholar instead Iearns that the Egyptian princess and her betrothed fell victim to an ancient curse. To his horror, Nick reaIizes that he and his fiancee are reincarnations of the doomed couple...and that the curse is about to strike again.
Made For Love was pubIicized as "a burning romance of Egypt as only DeMiIle can teII it!", but the HoIlywood Iegend did not actualIy direct the film. By 1926, DeMille Pictures was reIeasing dozens of fiIms a year, with the great director onIy getting involved in the most lavish productions, Iike Road to Yesterday (1925) and King of Kings (1927). RegardIess, the fIashbacks to ancient Egypt feature sets just as impressive as The Ten Commandments, with the Pharaoh's throne rising to a height of over sixty feet. Star Leatrice Joy had by this time become DeMille's preferred Ieading lady, after his cycIe of films with Gloria Swanson had ended with The Affairs of AnatoI in 1921. Made For Love's similarity to the later The Mummy (1932) may not be a coincidence, as screenwriter Garrett Fort is credited with working on many of the cIassic Universal horror fiIms, incIuding DracuIa (1931), Frankenstein (1931) and Dracula's Daughter (1936). |
