a great spectacle (by ferangel) |
tyrone power died in spain when he was filmig "Solomon adn sheba ".He was replaced by Yul brynner . The movie wast the last Vidor´s work. Solomon and sheba is a very beauty film, with great scenes, romantic and epic . King Vidor, one of the greatest directors of all times uses a very interesting theme : the fight between good and evil, the love and the passion .fernando alonso barahonaauthor of "King Vidor " , among many more books about cinema in spain . |
Solomon and Sheba a truly great film (by lorddoctorray) |
A previous reviewer states that this film IS historically inaccurate. You CANNOT make such a daft statement. We're talking about ancient history here where they are few if any contemporary writings and witnesses etc so NO ONE knows exactly what happened. Anyway does it really matter? A film should be watched and enjoyed for its entertainment value NOT its historic accuracy.I personally love this film. I love any film about ancient history and cultures. This film was made in 1959 when Hollywood still knew how to make great biblical epics. The scene where the Egyptian army is destroyed by <more> |
Kind Vidor's last movie is worth a look. (by raskimono) |
A heavy budget, a star that died with 75% of the movie completed. Recipe for disaster right, not in this case as Yul Brynner, the "great bald one" as he was known , except with hair here makes a convincing Solomon and Vidor scores in his direction. This movie sets itself up from the beginning as the story of two brothers and a case for redemption for that is what this movie is about. Solomon as everyone, Christian or not knows was wise as the common adage states. He inherited the Kingdom of Israel from his father as chosen by God to replace his older brother, the warrior played by <more> |
HinoSenshi's Review of An Excellent Time-Waster.....With A Little Sex Thrown In! (by xjadx_hinosenshi) |
Holy Cow! I watched "Solomon and Sheba" the other day on TCM, and I totally LOVED it! It is very Biblically inaccurate there was NOTHING between Solomon and the queen of Sheba, just a conversation! , but a lot of fun!Yul Brynner is one of my favorite actors to watch on screen; he is sexy, charismatic, over the top, and has that whacked out ambiguous accent. His ability to believably play just about any nationality and role is very evident in his role as the Hebrew king in this film; even though he seems a little out of place. I wonder why they chose him to replace Tyrone Power? Is <more> |
A Lesser Known Hollywood Bible Epic (by FloatingOpera7) |
Though never up to paar with its predecessor, The Ten Commandments, this film has its moments and its low points. Yul Brynner as King Solomon is an attempt to portray him a conflicted and complex ruler, as well as a dramatic vehicle for Brynner who had earlier appeared as the evil Pharaoh Ramses in The Ten Commandments opposite Charleton Heston's Moses. That film appears on TV every Easter and is the superior movie. This movie suffers of being over-the-top and high-brow while really nothing more than an extended drama about King Solomon and his love for the enemy the Queen of Sheba. The <more> |
