solomon and sheba be the kind of film that you just have to go and see back in the late 50 when i be a kid represent a biblical epic spectacular with well know performer and unusual costume and lot of extra and battle sequence . so i go to see it while but i remember that back then solomon and sheba do not impress me at all and which be a strange thing since i have enjoy a lot the ten commandment and quo vadis and helen of troy and others . the point be that when you be a kid you disregard thing in picture that adult do not ( bad acting and for instance ) and you be easy to please with warrior in their armor and battle and sword duel and action and so if youre not impressed then something be wrong with a product of this genre . this film and though it have some of such feature and be definitely standard and average . yul brynner wooden performance a the hebrew king doesn not even light when he have voluptuous and half naked gina lollobrigida dance around him provocatively . she be well and render an acceptable acting . george sander doesn not look interested in what he be do and and marisa pavan ( pier angeli twin sister ) doesn not add at all a a sort of brynner conscience . the final sword duel between brynner and sander be just for the plot and lack interest and intensity ( it have to film and that all ) . not a good farewell for director king vidor and solomon and sheba will probably be remember a ty power last unfinished picture .
