i be vote 10 for all the wrong reason . the prodigal be completely enjoyable a a comedy . what the point of light the metal point of a spear before you stab someone . they do it here . do vulture really attack live human being . they do here . i agree with all the reviewer who say that lana be too old to play this role . and poor purdom and always wince whether the sun be out or not . his bad posture and dull line reading . the funny part be when the big battle be go on at night in the street and louis calhern be casually drive his chariot home from the saloon totally oblivious to whats go on around him . the mute slave climb up louie horse and do an about face and throw a knife straight into louie neck . priceless . the medved or dreyfus book the bad movie of all time feature solomon and sheba star yul brynner and gina lollobrigita . i guess they miss the prodigal .
