Plot

Spectacular epic with La Lollobrigida as historical hussy the Queen of Sheba out to seduce King Solomon in an effort to bring down Israel. Brynner makes a magnificently regal king and while the script is a little lacking, the costumes, battle scenes and lush cinematography make it a joy to watch.
