About This Movie

Solomon and Sheba is a 1959 history and romance film directed by King Vidor. Its leading cast includes Yul Brynner, Gina Lollobrigida and George Sanders. It runs for 2 hours 19 minutes.

Synopsis

Near death, King David has a vision that his poet son, Solomon, should succeed him, rather than hot-headed Adonijah. Furious, Adonijah departs the court, swearing he will become king. Other rulers are concerned that Solomon's benevolent rule and interest in monotheism will threaten their tyrannical, polytheistic kingdoms. The Queen of Sheba makes an agreement with the Egyptian pharaoh to corrupt Solomon for their mutual benefit.
