Before there was an Indiana Jones, there was Allan Quartermain, the stalwart hero of H. Rider Haggard's classic 1885 novel that's been filmed four times. Stewart Granger portrays Quartermain in this 1950 adaptation that was nominated for the Best Picture Academy AwardO and won Oscars? for Color Cinematography and Film Editing. Deborah Kerr plays the prim Englishwoman who hires Quartermain to lead the hunt for her missing husband, even though no safari has ever returned from the uncharted regions their expedition must cross. Part adventure, part spectacle and filmed amid the awesome splendor and peril of untamed Africa, King Solomon's Mines is a film fan's treasure.

Three adventurers embark on a perilous quest in the wilds of Africa for the famed diamond mines. Academy Award Nominations: 3, including Best Picture. Academy Awards: Best (Color) Cinematography, Best Film Editing.

King Solomon's Mines Reviews:

"[T]his best-picture Oscar nominee proved enormously popular thanks to obviously genuine African location footage and attractive leads..."-- Mike Clark, USA Today

This is the only Lowell Gilmore video. Stars also making their debut in this video: Compton Bennett.

5 stars Forgotten Hollywood Movie
Here is an old movie that does not use sex or violence to sell a story. It uses actors which are far too few in Hollywood today. The adventure of Africa and the scenry add to this great movie. Granger and Kerr with great supporting actors make this movie a classic.

3 stars Great movie
This movie was made in the 50's but the story telling and scenery is great. Does not hurt to have two great actors in it either.

4 stars Great action movie
I have been looking for this version on the King Solomon's Mine for a couple of years as I remembered it from my childhood days. The only thing I really wanted was for it to be in the DVD format instead of VHS but I was happy to get it for my collection.

Based on the journals of Brother Gaspar de Carvajal, AGUIRRE, THE WRATH OF GOD is director Werner Herzog's hallucinatory tale of Spanish colonialists searching for El Dorado, the legendary city of gold, in 16th-century Peru. When the travellers reach an impasse, a scouting party is assembled to search for any traces of the mythical empire. As they attempt to forge their way through the dense jungle, more and more of the party falls ill while their ruthless leader, Don Lope de Aguirre (Klaus Kinski), grows increasingly insane. Widely considered to be Herzog's finest film, AGUIRRE, which shares much in common with Francis Ford Coppola's APOCALYPSE NOW, highlights the director's visionary approach to filmmaking. Like Coppola's film, accounts of ...

Gwen (Catherine Zeta-Jones) and Eddie (John Cusack) are AMERICA'S SWEETHEARTS, two wildly popular celebrities who share their love on and off the screen in this farcical romantic comedy. But a messy breakup sends Eddie to a New Age Hollywood healing center and Gwen into the arms of her current affair, a Spanish bohunk short on charm (Hank Azaria). When their relationship troubles begin to threaten their superstar celebrity status and the release of their final film together the studio heads call in legendary press agent Lee Phillips (Billy Crystal) to helm the troubled film's press junket. Julia Roberts costars as Kiki, Gwen's personal assistant and sister who has always lived to please her demanding diva sister. Once overweight and severely self-conscious, Kiki's life revolves around her sister's ridiculous demands in this send up of ego-driven movie star vanity, penned cleverly with cynical insider wit by Crystal and Peter Tolan. Phillips manages to gather the warring superstars and gaggles of press together at a remote desert location for the all important press junket where his best laid plans begin to unravel in this hysterical parody of the movie industry replete with neurotic actors, eccentric crazed directors (Christopher Walken in a gem of a cameo), maniacal studio heads, and gossip-starved press who will do anything or anyone for the next big story. Married movie stars Gwen (Catherine Zeta-Jones) and Eddie (John Cusack) are Hollywood's favorite couple, on-screen and off. But when their very public romance turns into a very private breakup, ...

Determined to kill his wife's lover, a middle-class accountant (Steven Mackintosh, Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels) attempts to purchase a .38 from an inner-city crackhead (Ashley Walters, Get Rich or Die Tryin'), unaware the gun actually ...
