Everything about Solomon And Sheba totally explained
Solomon and Sheba is a
1959 Biblical epic film made by Edward Small Productions and distributed by
United Artists. The film stars
Yul Brynner,
Gina Lollobrigida,
George Sanders and
Marisa Pavan, with
David Farrar,
Harry Andrews,
Laurence Naismith,
William Devlin,
Jean Anderson and
Finlay Currie. It was directed by
King Vidor and produced by Ted Richmond and
Tyrone Power from a
screenplay by Anthony Veiller, Paul Dudley and George Bruce, based on a story by
Crane Wilbur. The music score was by
Mario Nascimbene and
Malcolm Arnold, the cinematography by
Freddie Young. The film was shot in
Technirama.
During filming in Madrid, Spain, the original star of the film, Tyrone Power, died of a heart attack after a grueling dueling scene with
George Sanders. (The two had also filmed a sword fight in the 1942 film
The Black Swan.) Yul Brynner took over the role, though Power can still be seen in long shots. The film is probably most noted for an orgy scene featuring Sheba (Lollobrigida) (see the lobby card below) which was extremely licentious for Hollywood motion pictures of that era.
Production
The film was shot in
Madrid and Valdespartera,
Zaragoza,
Spain. It was the last film directed by Hollywood veteran King Vidor.
