Not quite!
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!
