The story of King Solomon and Queen Sheba is a frequently adapted theme in biblical films. Directed by the esteemed King Vidor, this version is quite standard. After the lead actor Tyrone Power passed away during production, Yul Brynner stepped in to complete the filming. Observant viewers may notice that King Solomon appears with different physiques in close-ups and wide shots. The plot depicts the Israeli prince King Solomon preparing to attack Egypt alongside his brother Adonijah, while Queen Sheba intervenes to sow discord. She uses her beauty to seduce Solomon and incites Adonijah to attempt to seize the throne left vacant after King David's death. This leads to a rift between the brothers, and God expresses His anger by destroying Solomon's temple with divine power.
