Given his magnificent performances in The Ten Commandments and the King and I, this Yul Brynner film unfortunately falls short of epic film proportions. The right elements are there - an interesting Biblical story line, great sets and costumes and a bomshell leading lady in the person of Gina Lollobrigida. Yet the mix clearly falls short and fails to stir any significant interest in the viewer. In the end, the film quite simply falls flat on its face. The scene depicting an easily swayed Jewish crowd stoning the Queen of Sheeba to death can only be described in one word: CHEESEY! But hey, if you want to see Brynner with a head full of hair, this is the movie for you!
Wise King Solomon (Yul Brunner) becomes involved with the ravishing Queen of Sheba (Gina Lologrigida) in this epic motion picture adaptation of the biblical story of these historical figures. Lavish sets and interesting costumes combined with solid acting that portrays engaging characters continue to make this movie interesting and entertaining.

Although the story line didn’t strictly follow the Biblical narrative, it was very entertaining. I liked the way that the Queen of Sheba turned her heart to the Lord.

Although taken from the Bible, this is a beautifully written love story. It is part love story and part history lesson beautifully written and realistically portrayed by the actors. The background music is beautifully scored. The colors are incredible throughout the movie. This is a movie worth watching again and again.
