Solomon & Sheba

It is a very romantic movie, great performances by Jimmy Smits and Halle Berry. I was its translator to Spanish for Latin America. It was an awesome movie, specially the end has two of the most romantic paragraphs I have ever seen. I am an action movie guy, But the last two paragraphs will melt any woman's heart.

I agree with the others that I remember when this movie aired on TV and and have been wanting to buy it for quite some time. I think it was a great film and told a great account of our ancient history. I am always wanting to learn as much as I can about Africa and the biblical era. I haven't been able to find this movie anywhere, and would love to have it for my Bible collection of movies. Halle Berry is a great actress and I can't believe this movie isn't more available. I've even looked in my public library and was not able to find a copy. Based on most of the reviews on this board, it looks as though there would be plenty of consumers that would like to buy this film.

As a Bible movie aficionado, I think this is the best Solomon movie there is.

In this fictional adventure story with a Biblical setting, King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba go looking for the lost gold mines of Ophir. This is a character-driven movie. It portrays the wise and intriguing character of Solomon more believably than any other movie, including more Biblically literal ones. Halle Berry does a predictably fantastic job as the Queen of Sheba. Together, the two of them are likable, clever, and smoking hot.

This is a low-budget TV movie, which means no epic battles, grand processions, or even fancy costumes. It drags a bit in spots. That said: the plot is clever, the characters are likable, and the ending is satisfying. It is thoroughly enjoyable!

Shame it's still so hard to find!

I agree with everything that Ski Queen 2019 posted. I believe that this is an issue of race. This movie was excellent and I can see absolutely no reason as to why this movie is nowhere to be found on this planet for sale. I know lot's of people that would love to purchase this movie as well as myself and we can't do it. Who in this world knows where I can get a copy of this movie even if you recorded it yourself the night it aired on TNT. Which by the way I did but someone stole it!I have not found one site except this one that even acknowledged that this movie existed.Halle Berry and Jimmy Smits were awesome in this movie. They really lit the screen up and made this love story believable. -They looked like what you would picture in your mind as to what King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba might have looked like.The people responsible for casting this movie obviously thought they looked the part so they should be trying, as well as the producers and the director to get this movie on the market and make some money. And if you can't do that could you send me your copy? Please!

Just to make a collating I've been planning to watch both version of Solomon and Sheba available in my collection trying to see which them were more faithful with holy book, this newest version made for TV has a different story from all sources, the plot driven force to a gold's mine lost in the desert, Sheba trying to takes trustworthiness from Solomon letting to him all lost gold, the upcoming events as treachery came from own political advisor called Jeroboan, actually the King Solomon as know as a wised man, but by force of destiny didn't realize such betrayal, also another inaccurate thing, so Solomon offers to divide the country with Jeroboan to end up the death sentence against Sheba, too many discrepancies lead to failure this cheaper and poor production!!!
