## Description

Product Description King Solomon's Mines (1950) (DVD)Stewart Granger and Deborah Kerr star in this expansive epic ofadventurer Allan Quartermain, hired to find a missing explorer--who mayhave found the fabled, lost diamond mines of King Solomon. Filmed onlocation in Africa. Winner of two Academy Awards. Based on H. RiderHaggard's novel.]]> desertcart.com Adventure yarns dont come more ripping than King Solomons Mines, the classic Great White Hunter tale. Novelist H. Rider Haggards hero, Allan Quatermain (Stewart Granger), reluctantly agrees to lead an Englishwoman (Deborah Kerr) and her brother (Richard Carlson) deep into uncharted territory in Africa, in search of the ladys lost husband. What follows is a cavalcade of boys adventure stuff: charging rhinos, cannibals, an incredible wildlife stampede, and the back-of-the-neck-tingly thrill of venturing into unmapped lands. The location shooting, including tribal rituals, is marvelous throughout, and the movie manages to pack a great deal of material into 102 minutes without ever seeming rushed. A remake of a 1937 film, King Solomons Mines was itself remade badly, with Richard Chamberlain, in 1985, and Quatermain was essayed by Sean Connery in League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, but purists will prefer Stewart Grangers stalwart-yet-sardonic hero--his career never quite got over the role. --Robert Horton

Review: Great old-time adventure film but forget modern-day CGi Fests. - I feel as strongly as the most ecstatic reviewers here that this is a fine adventure film. But at the same time I have to qualify that by noting that this is a classic adventure film and that many viewers are disappointed in it online. I think decades of Indiana Jones (for which this film was a kind of spiritual prototype) not to mention every other adventure, Sci-Fi and Young Adult Fiction film have trained audiences to expect the most spectacular and impossible events, bigger than life, aided by computer generated effects. In King Solomon's Mines the thrills and events are merely life-size, which on screen from the perspective of today, looks pretty small. But remember, it only takes one lion or even an angry dog to totally ruin your day. This film was its own spectacle when it first came out in 1950, unfortunately just before the advent of CinemaScope which is why it isn't even shown on television that often. It did have every other new element that the studios were jumping on to get people away from those pesky new televisions that were decimating the box office. It was in color. It was shot on location in Africa. All the nature and animal footage was shot for this film and became stock footage for other films for the next two decades. Great respect was shown to period detail. Actual Africans were hired to play Africans including the first tie the Watusi tribe ever allowed films to be made of them. This includes some authentic chanting and dances which I am happy to say are included in desertcart's streamed version of the film. In some TV, video and DVD versions these were cut. Top actors were hired for the principal cast including an up and coming Stuart Grainger and already established Deborah Kerr. Grainger was a replacement for Errol Flynn who said no when he heard he would have to stay on location in a tent but he was a great fit. The plot, of a woman and her brother looking for her husband who is missing after a trip to find a treasure in Africa is adequately exploredand I'm sure gone into in detail in other reviews here. The dangers from a charging rhino, a stampeding mass of savanna animals, a spider, a leopard, the desertion of the group by bearers and the appearance of a hostile tribe, were enough to kill anyone in 1897 when the film is set, and to keep viewers on the edge of their seats. But this is just where the problems come in. Younger viewers and even those not so young are going to say "Ho-hum" to all of this because they've seen such exaggerated adventures on giant screens today. Even the love interest is underplayed in retrospect and at the end of the film after a climactic battle, everyone just quietly walks away. It's nothing like the way films are made today, which would have required a smash-bang ending, but it's worthwhile all the same. It's a great movie if you give it a chance.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A genuine classic
*by J***S on November 16, 2024*

Everything in this movie is so carefully researched and presented. What a delight to see something so well done coming out of this period of movie making. Stewart Granger and Deborah Kerr do a fine acting job, but they are almost secondary to the incredible cinematography, native authenticity and script writing. I'm so glad we own this movie. I recommend it to anyone who likes a good adventure with a truthful backdrop.
