it wasn not until i look at the trivia section that i find out that the original producer or star of this movie tyrone power die during it making . this no doubt explain why everyone on screen seem to have their mind on other thing and a symptom of which appear in a very early scene involve a battle that can only be describe a pathetic . you know when you have be paint a wall until youre completely bore . well that the sort of expression the combatant have on their face when theyre swing their sword in a highly unconvincing manner the plot centre on soloman the king of israel have an affair with the queen of sheeba and his people not be happy about it . you can not really blame them since there few thing more beautiful in the world than those israeli moteks and though the israeli woman here all seem to look like cherie blair . modern day israel be also very cosmopolitan with the majority of israeli be bear outside the country but would this have be true a couple of thousand year ago where everyone speak in european and american accent after much talk and a dance sequence that have to be see to be believe ( and no that not praise ) we have a climax where the heavily outnumber israeli have to defend themselves against a massed egyptian army who can not read a map otherwise they would have know there be a canyon in front of them . this be what i do not get even though their blind by the sun the egyptian spend ten minute charge towards the israeli never ever realise theyre charge towards a gaping ravine . isn not this somewhat illogical . it also something of a revealing error since the horse and chariot and men fall into the canyon be obviously miniature figure anyway the film end with soloman kill his treacherous brother and praising god for his victory . but who need moshe dayan and arik sharon or god when you have get an idiotic enemy who can not see a ravine in front of him or wave a sword like he paint a wall .
