VHS Movie Reviews of Solomon and Sheba
Movie Review: Shlomo and Sheba...
Summary: 2 Stars
Well, besides being a big ham, unless of course you are a big fan of the Bible and the Scriptures, this is a worthless effort in story telling.
Nowadays we have much more specific indications on who Solomon was and how the Queen of Sheba came into play. There are even sources that really and strongly doubt the two ever actually met.
So, premises apart, and taken into consideration that it is a Yul Brynner / Gina Lollobrigida vehicle, it is still watchable, especially for its "saucy" values of the time (1959).
A bit like "The Prodigal", this is by no means a serious attempt at translating the Bible into a historic document.
It is just Big Circus meets Big Actors. There is even poor George Sanders standing by, lending a hand at this.
Poor man, he must have been desperate in doing so.
Anyway, if the pay is right, why not...
It is barely good enough for Popcorn and Soda and for keeping your kids laughing for a couple of hours in front of your TV set.
Other than that, consider, it is cheap, so if you decide to buy it, it won't be a big dent in your purse, just do not expect something really intellectual out of this one.
And Yul in a wig is ridiculous at best.
Stick to "The King and I" or other better pictures, like "The Magnificent Seven" and even the Sci-Fi thriller "Westworld", if you really like to see Yul at his best.
Image, Screen Ratio and Sound as conventional as ever for MGM/UA products.
As said, cheap.
