Review of She

She (1935)
5/10
Exciting at the time
29 July 2021
You've probably seen the 1965 remake She starring Ursula Andress. If you liked the Technicolor, sex-focused splendor, you probably won't like the original. But if you like old adventure movies, like the original The Prisoner of Zenda, The Last Days of Pompeii, or The Lost World, you'll probably get a kick out of it.

Merian C. Cooper, the director of King Kong, produced his usually expected level of special effects. This is an adventure flick with tons of sets and excitement as the expedition brings Randolph Scott, Helen Mack, Nigel Bruce, and the other explorers closer to the holy grail. No, this isn't Indiana Jones, but it's entertaining if you're used to old movies. Don't expect too much from the acting, either. It was exciting at the time, but now it's looked at as a B-picture.
