Even w George Sanders, Yul Brynner, and That Hot Guy To Be Named Later this was horrible #SolomonAndSheba #TCMParty
Mommy issues much considering that Solomon's mother was BathSHEBA. #SolomonAndSheba #TCMParty
Oh FFS. Where's the man behind the curtain? Paging Frank Morgan! #SolomonAndSheba #TCMParty
A "pagan harlot?" Is that the same as a shiksa? #SolomonAndSheba #TCMParty
I wonder if the AHA monitored movies back then? #SolomonAndSheba #TCMParty
Oh wow, I didn't realize Tyrone Power died while filming an actual scene! ...Didn't his father die of a heart attack that at least started on stage during a performance and that young Tyrone was in the wings? Am I remembering that wrong?

It's such a good *looking* film but is it a little boring somehow, or is it me? #SolomonAndSheba #TCMParty
Twenty-somethings had to have free love in the sixties to get their heads straight after watching too many so-called "religious" epics as kids in the fifties. #TCMParty #SolomonAndSheba
Sheba or shiva? #SolomonAndSheba #TCMParty
I never got the whole smiting thing. #SolomonAndSheba #TCMParty
So why exactly why the celebrants smote? Were they truly evil and cruel or were they just having a good time? #SolomonAndSheba #TCMParty
I just turned on #SolomonandSheba and the orgy scene was on. Here it's kitsch. If it was in an opera it would be considered brilliant. #TCMParty
Brynner replaced Tyrone Power in #SolomonAndSheba. The film was more than half done when Power had a heart attack in a sword fight scene with Sanders. Brynner was hired after Robert Taylor passed & the film was reshot. Per IMDB, some shots of Power are still in the film ^PG #TCMParty
They definitely borrowed that setting in the boat, with leaves hanging down over the water, from King Vidor's 1926 film, Bardelys the Magnificent! It's a different cinematographer though. #SolomonAndSheba #TCMParty
I just noticed the creativity of going up to an edge. Clouding the water, holding the towel up etc. Also wondered what the actress (Gina in this case) thought of it.

It must be much less satisfying to throw around and smash dishes when the floor is dirt and your walls are a fabric tent. #SolomonAndSheba #TCMParty
Regardless of how good or not good this movie is shaping up to be—this print is amazing! It's crisp, all the colours are true, it's a joy to look at! #SolomonAndSheba #TCMParty
I'm loving the costumes in this movie too!

Ummm. I hate to be a Debbie Downer but I just found out that Tyrone Power was originally cast as Solomon. He died on-set of a heart attack. I hate to drop this on you @phyllindablank.bsky.social but I thought you'd want to know. Some battle scenes still feature Tyrone. 😔 #TCMParty #SolomonAndSheba
I walked in on a George Sanders production; starring, directed by and edited by George Sanders.

Ok NOW everything feels lined up
to properly watch this movie.
...I'm laughing so hard right now.

Heyyy HYD Biblical Epic George Sanders 😍 #WhatsPoppin #SolomonAndSheba #TCMParty
George Sanders in gold armour just makes me wish @phyllindablank.bsky.social was here checking out what's poppin'...
#SolomonAndSheba #TCMParty
Wait, is Solomon actually talking to God there? #SolomonAndSheba #TCMParty
I didn't either! As usual, George is plenty interesting in them. Check out his mullet! 😁 #TCMParty #SolomonAndSheba
Gina Lolobridgia says “You dog” like Salma Hayek did in From Dusk To Dawn #SolomonAndSheba #TCMParty
