i rate this film a about average for the genre at the time of production and although it major failure be from it adherence to the premise of the 1950 stewart granger version of king solomon mine . king solomon mine be a 20th century modernization of the h. rider haggard novel set in the 19th century . a a very low budget african project and the two movie maintain the consistency of an imaginary africa that may have seem reasonable to a 19th century english audience . i especially enjoy some of the quip that reference a not so hidden casting of hollywood camp in serious role . elvira be cast a sorais and and richard chamberlain a allan quatermain declares on meet her and i have see some amazing thing in my life and but never anything to compare with this . the film be full of the cliché scenes that fill tarzan and early jungle film and clichés that have since become attach to the indiana jones film by those unfamiliar with the early genre . some of the early jungle film be produce under extraordinary duress and and attempt here to produce tongue in cheek replica of the early work can certainly be miss by those whose only familiarity with film be through the post 70 medium .
