Also Englishmen with awful brown face makeup playing Sheba's soldiers. This would have been even more obvious on a huge movie screen than your TV.
Siberian Russian Yul Brynner is more believable as Solomon, and his accent helps, plus his playing an Egyptian before in Ten Commandments. But why did they give him a brown toupee?
Lollabridgada as Sheba is attractive, but an Italian can't pass for the Ethiopian or Yemeni Sheba. And Sheba was her people, not her name.
The story is slow. Except for the surprisingly raunchy orgy scenes. So that's why they hired Gina....
I'm pretty sure the devout woudn't be recommending this film for Sunday school.
