Solomon and Sheba is a 1959 Biblical epic film made by Edward Small Productions and distributed by United Artists. It was directed by King Vidor and produced by Ted Richmond and Tyrone Power from a screenplay by Anthony Veiller, Paul Dudley and George Bruce, based on a story by Crane Wilbur. The music score was by Mario Nascimbene and Malcolm Arnold, the cinematography by Freddie Young. The film was shot in Technirama.
During filming in Madrid, Spain, the original star of the film, Tyrone Power, died of a heart attack after a grueling dueling scene with George Sanders. (The two had also filmed a sword fight in the 1942 film The Black Swan.) Yul Brynner took over the role, though Power can still be seen in long shots.
The film stars Yul Brynner, Gina Lollobrigida, George Sanders and Marisa Pavan, with David Farrar, Harry Andrews, Laurence Naismith, William Devlin, Jean Anderson and Finlay Currie.
The film was shot in Madrid and Valdespartera, Zaragoza, Spain. It was the last film directed by Hollywood veteran King Vidor.
