Well, my expectations were not too high given that this is basically a Hammer film, which means a severely limited budget and production schedule - but I got disappointed in a positive sense because they sure got maximum mileage out of that budget. Sure, the sets look fake, but they have style and don't take us out of the story. The camel-back scenes were better than in "Lawrence of Arabia"! But what surprised me most was the capable acting; it's as much drama as adventure and so might easily have become cheesy or plain ridiculous - but with the sad exception of the "hero" (John Richardson, rather bland play) everyone gave their best; Cushing is excellent, Cribbins a nice sidekick (superb use of "They just don't make them like that anymore"), Lee fittingly secretive, Monteros adorable, and Andress completely otherworldly (congratulations to the make-up/costume department; light was also excellent) - she owns the screen in every scene she's in.
7/10 (might have been much better with a more capable male lead) - you can't kill a good story like "She" but in this case they managed much more than let it live!
