Solomon & Sheba

I only saw the preview for this movie in 1995 and I wanted to see it very much but I was not able to on the evening it aired. I have never forgotten it though. I have been looking for a copy of the movie for several years and always, always come up empty. I can't help but wonder if racism has something to do with it. Did Showtime receive complaints that they dare use people of color to represent people of color in this movie? Has public release of the movie been prohibited so as to erase all memory that the movie was ever made? I had several posters of African queens, Sheba, was one of them, in which the queens were depicted as the African women they were. They were hung on display in a public library and so enraged certain users of the library they were removed.....that is those that weren't stolen or destroyed.

Can anyone help me get a copy of this movie so that I can finally view it. Twelve years is a long time.

I loved this movie and could not wait to hear and see one of the tales of Solomon and Sheba. I was just a kid when I saw this movie, and I was so entranced I looked both Solomon and Sheba up on the computer. I believe Showtime made the movie, they did a beautiful job on the scenery and authenticity of the clothes. I loved that they used Halle Berry, showing people that the Queen of Sheba was of African origin. Not a Caucasian like they use for Cleopatra and truly getting it wrong. Anyonewho says that this movie is bad is full of it. The acting was great and told of two monarchs who fell in love, but knew the reality of the situation. There story has been told for lifetimes and this movie did a good job of depicting this. Two thumbs up for me.

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!

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.

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!
