Near death, King David has a vision that his poet son, Solomon, should succeed him, rather than hot-headed Adonijah. Furious, Adonijah departs the court, swearing he will become king. Other rulers are concerned that Solomon's benevolent rule and interest in monotheism will threaten their tyrannical, polytheistic kingdoms. The Queen of Sheba makes an agreement with the Egyptian pharaoh to corrupt Solomon for their mutual benefit.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

Visual style and narrative structure don't conflict here — they work together. It's noticeable and creates a sense of wholeness.

Worth watching for the overall quality of execution. Not a genre landmark — but solid work that respects the viewer.

For viewers who watch a lot and can distinguish craft from accident.

Director: King Vidor
