The story is very satisfying - it has a marvellous end. They were always talking about making a version in the 50s with Louis B Mayer and Rita Hayworth.
This has Geoffrey Horne who had a good role in Bridge on the River Kwai and vanished into... this. Sets and costumes fine. It feels directed by the 1st AD but was actually Irving Rapper, one of those directors who obviously needed the studio system.
Presumably he's why the cast is so strong - Felix Alymer as Joseph's dad, Robert Morley as Potiphar and Belinda Lee as the skanky wife. Morley is miscast but he and Lee are badly missed in the second half.
