Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea S03E20 The Mummy

This one is by request (forgive me for not remembering who). This is one of my favorites from the third season, mostly for the music and Basehart's tongue in cheek 4th wall breaking in the final minutes. While Bernard Herrmann usually gets most of the credit for music from "The Day the Earth Stood Still" there are a number of different scores here. My favorite piece is over the episode titles. The cue is "Crisis Past" from "The Rains of Ranchipur" composted by Hugo Friedhofer. And contrary to some reports, not a note of "The Egyptian" was used in this or any episode. "King of the Khyber Rifles" and "Garden of Evil" is heard a lot, though.

Thank uou for posting this episode. Despite what anyone says it's one of our favorites. We'll probably watch more times than you can count. Besides, how many other creatures hsve come aboard Seaview to try and take it and one or more of the crew over? Nothing unusual about that. Look foreward to future posts.😊❤😊❤😊 1:58

At this point this show was right off the rails story wise even Richard Baseheart wouldn't dignify this story with an.explanation of how a 3000 year old mummy came back to life
Shutup and take the money for acting in this Shlock he was telling David Heddon

Well to be fair, Basehart did the series for the money from the very start. Irwin Allen paid him top dollar and Basehart had an expensive divorce to bankroll. Also, it's not like he refused to create an explanation...he was following the script. William Welch is the one who didn't bother. RB just added his own tongue in cheek delivery. I think this episode is fun, if kinda pointless. Great music and performances make this an enjoyable time passer.
