Shortly before his death in ancient Israel King David has a vision from God telling him that his younger son Solomon should succeed him as king. His other son Adonijah is unhappy and vows to attain the throne. Meanwhile the Egyptian Pharoah agrees to cede a Red Sea port to the Queen of Sheba if she can find a way to destroy Solomon, whose wisdom and benevolent rule is seen as a threat to more tyrannical monarchs in the region. Sheba, Pharoah, Adonijah, the leaders of the Twelve Tribes and his own God make life difficult for Solomon who is tempted by Sheba to stray.

The Many Sins of a Pagan Revel!....Actually, I find the sight of guilt ridden fanatics kneeling in prayer a lot more disturbing and potentially dangerous than a heap of people getting down at a rave party. - @Sunday, October 23, 2016 11:20 AM

"The nights of desire that shook the world" - my pick for the most meaningless film trailer caption in history. What the hell does that even mean?!! The world had no idea they were banging, and even if they had no-one would have cared! How COULD the world have known at the time in order to be shaken?!! Did Solomon get up after sex with her, hop on the Bronze Age Internet and Tweet: "Well, I banged her, guys. I sure shook the world there, know what I mean lol". Their nights of desire did not "shake the world". At most, it might have shaken a palm tree next to the bed. Idiotic. - @Wednesday, June 18, 2014 10:08 AM

This was Tyrone Power's last stand. He had a heart attack on set during a fighting scene and later died at the hospital. - @Thursday, May 8, 2014 10:59 PM
