Solomon and Sheba (1959)

Yul Brynner stars as the legendary King Solomon in what is considered to be the most spectacular motion picture of its time. When Solomon is chosen to succeed his father, King David, he vows to rebuild Jerusalem and lead Israel to great strength. However, his jealous brother Adonijah, the Egyptian Pharaoh, and the seductive Queen of Sheba conspire against Solomon to bring down his throne. This mighty epic was King Vidor's final film and colourfully portrays some of the greatest rulers, kingdoms and battles in biblical history.
