Amazonian Queens who live in arctic glaciers? Ancient, Art Deco palaces? Set and costume designs decades ahead of their time? Clearly, the creators of King Kong did not run out of imagination after their monkey tale.
This stunning re-release of the classic She on DVD is the most complete compilation of the film extant today, containing both a high-quality black and white version in addition to the newly colorized one. In both cases, the source material was the original "high definition" film roll, and the quality really does shine in its presentation. Legendary and Oscar winning special effects man Ray Harryhausen, continuing the work he began with Things to Come, consulted with Legend Films to assemble and re-master the film in color, and provide extras not often associated with 1930s releases like deleted scenes, trailers and commentary.
Summary of She - In COLOR! Also Includes the Original Black-and-White Version which has been Beautifully Restored and Enhanced!Studio: Legend Films Inc. Release Date: 06/26/2008 Randolph Scott is his usual stiff but smiling self as Leo Vincey, the long-lost American heir to a British family legacy, sent by his estranged father to reclaim the legendary "Flame of Life," discovered five centuries ago by his explorer ancestor. Producer Merian C. Cooper, best known for directing King Kong, changes the locale of H. Rider Haggard's classic adventure from Africa to the Arctic (which, apart from a spectacular avalanche, looks positively stagebound), but he pulls out all stops for the magnificent underground kingdom hidden in the icy mountains, complete with a cavernous throne room with vaulted ceilings and a massive staircase that would look right at home in the Ziegfeld Follies. The cruel She Who Must Be Obeyed (Helen Gahagan) is a beautiful but icy queen driven ruthless by her centuries of loneliness. The film takes some time to get started but once She makes her impressive entrance through a mist-enshrouded arch, we're plunged into a dangerous, exotic world of strange ceremonies, human sacrifices, nefarious plots, and the gorgeous whirlwind of light that is the Flame of Life. Though the dialogue is often flat and uninspired and the performances by Scott and Gahagan rather arch (costars Nigel Bruce and Helen Mack fare much better), this grand adventure concludes with a rousing climax full of impressive set pieces and breathtaking effects. --Sean Axmaker
