Movie synopsis
Yul Brynner stars as the legendary figure of the Bible in King Vidor's only contribution to this popular 1950s genre. When aged King David (Finlay Currie) has a vision from God telling him that Solomon should succeed him as ruler of the Israelites, David heeds His word. This angers his martial brother, Adonijah (George Sanders), who threatens to wrest the throne from his younger brother. Israel thrives under the reign of the wise king, and its success creates uneasiness among the powerful kingdoms of the region. The pharaoh conspires with Sheba (Gina Lollobrigida), granting her access to the Red Sea that she might beseige Solomon with her charm, thereby luring the ruler to his doom. Solomon is dazzled by the queen's beauty and quickly falls under her sway. As the king's attention is turned away from the Lord and the welfare of his people, the country begins to deteriorate. The Lord finally expresses his displeasure with the prevailing atmosphere of licentiousness by destroying the Temple of Jehovah. The chastened Solomon grasps the error of his ways, and a transformed Sheba decides to convert to Judaism. SOLOMON AND SHEBA is the great director's final film, and while it might not be up to the standard he set with DUEL IN THE SUN, THE BIG PARADE, and THE CHAMP, it has an undeniably entertaining camp value that makes it worth watching.

Not quite!

Given his magnificent performances in The Ten Commandments and the King and I, this Yul Brynner film unfortunately falls short of epic film proportions. The right elements are there - an interesting Biblical story line, great sets and costumes and a bomshell leading lady in the person of Gina Lollobrigida. Yet the mix clearly falls short and fails to stir any significant interest in the viewer. In the end, the film quite simply falls flat on its face. The scene depicting an easily swayed Jewish crowd stoning the Queen of Sheeba to death can only be described in one word: CHEESEY! But hey, if you want to see Brynner with a head full of hair, this is the movie for you!

Solomon and Sheba (2008, DVD)

I loved Yul Brynner ever since I was a little girl.. I saw him in the king and I on stage and he was amazing then so I love anything he is in! Gina is also beautiful and an excellent actress. Both headline names you will not be disapointed!

Solomon and Sheba

This is one of the best Bible movies, right up there with the 10 Commandments and Ben Hur. Yul Brener makes a fantastic Solomon and always brings life to the character he plays. I highly recommend this movie for the entire family.

Solomon and Sheba

I haven't seen this movie in years and nearly forgot what Yul Brenner looked like with hair and Gina of course in her days was an attractive woman. I bought this dvd at a good price which adds to my bibical collection.

very good Biblical movie on God's love with Obedience.

We love all Biblical movies. God's love is so eternal no mater what the age but we must follow his guidelines. When you don't consciences follow.Everyone needs to go beck to the basics of God's love and unfailing love for us even though we don't deserve it.Thank you
