VHS Movie Reviews of King Solomon's Mines (1950) [VHS]
Movie Review: king solomons kmines
Summary: 5 Stars
An excellant film for action and adventure. I will never get tired of watching it.Movie Review: Awsome African scenery.
Summary: 5 Stars
As a fan of the King Solomon's Mine "series" of movies, this one is by far the best. The scenes of Africa are wonderful and the Watusi dance is beautifully done. If fact, the dance sequence is so spectacular that it is worth buying the dvd just to see it. I highly recommend this early version. Richard Chamberlain's version with Sharon Stone is a great version also.Movie Review: The rod by which other Africa/Romance stories are measured
Summary: 5 Stars
As with many of the great ones this is a remake of the 1937 movie and was made again in 1985. Just as we all know that Moses looks like Charleston Heston, we also know that Allan Quatermain looks like Stewart Granger. The movie also has many other greats as Richard Carlson of "Creature from the Black Lagoon" fame.
Basic story is an adaptation from H. Rider Haggard, in which Elizabeth Curtis comes to Africa in search of her, lost husband and eventually uses a large sum of money to recruit Allan Quatermain against his better judgment to lead the search. Naturally the two people even thought chaperoned have to resist nature taking its course.
Eventually picking up a stranger (Umbopa) going their way they run into danger from animals, natives, and unscrupulous people. The title gives away the reason that the husband (Curtis) was in Africa to begin with.
Will Curtis be found and what effect will it have on Allan and Elizabeth?

Movie Review: Africa rules
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie filmed on location in the 1950's gives the viewer scenes from some of the best wildlife preserves in East Africa. The movie loosely based on the H. Rider Haggard novel of the same name spends most of the time on the journey to the mines. The cast does well though the ending is rushed. It is a chance to see a part of the world many people won't get to.Movie Review: This lost-civilization adventure continues to be a favorite among those who love a thrilling tale...,
Summary: 5 Stars
There are many reasons why people like classic movies, but often those reasons are quite sentimental in their nature... Perhaps the reason for its enduring appeal is that it intends nostalgic trip to the past, where such films spawned juvenile imagination with breathtaking locations, exotic hidden societies, and characters with strange powers...
Like all trips into the African wild, "King Solomon's Mines" proceeds through all kinds of land-forests, swamps, desert sands, lush meadows and rugged mountains... The film is filled with exciting scenes, and some rather effective looks at human motivations in the face of impossible odds...
The color photography of Robert Surtees, greatly increases the visual impact of the outdoor scenes and almost overpowers the plot drama at times... Surtees' landscapes are gorgeous--vista after vista of jungles, dunes, high peaks, river rapids and waterfalls...
Stewart Granger was talented enough in playing the dashing romantic leading man... He created a human hero who is the ideal concept of the white hunter--suave, tough, courageous, and strongly British...
Deborah Kerr, the 'lady with the flaming hair,' had a charming weakness that was strong and feminine at the same time...
This lost-civilization adventure continues to be a favorite among those who love a thrilling tale... "King Solomon's Mines" is a well-cast version filled with qualities close to the human heart: thrilling, adventurous, and amusing...
