Egypt by Three

Actor Joseph Cotten narrates these tales, which are set and filmed along the Nile River. Each atmospheric vignette offers an eye-opening take on the culture, attitudes and religion of the Middle East. First, a knife thrower's affair threatens his mistress. Then, the plague tests a band of pilgrims journeying to Mecca. Finally, two con men learn a lesson at a Coptic church. Ann Stanville, Paul Campbell, Victor Stoloff and Jackie Craven star.
