Canada Movie Reviews of Solomon & ShebaMovie Review: Epic Filmmaking Gone Terribly Wrong
When your star actor dies on location two-thirds into filming, perhaps it's better to pull the plug and collect the insurance money. Unfortunately, the producers of "Solomon and Sheba" (1959) decided that Yul Brynner and his yak hair would make an ideal substitute for Tyrone Power. The extensive reshooting and budgetary shortcuts resulted in a clumsy biblical epic. It would have been interesting to compare the original Power footage with the cheesiness of the final version. Veteran director King Vidor threw in the towel after this disaster-laden project. |
