Solomon & Sheba

Like the other reviews, this was a very beautiful historical movie of The Queen of Sheba that was shown on Showtime and starring Halle Berry and Jimmy Smit. It seems that when anyone wants to buy it, no one knows why it was never release or for sale. I hope someone can finally answered the question, WHY? I would love to have a copy because it told a story that mark different places in the Bible. The storyline in the beginning was a little rush, but overall the movie was very good and inspirational. I do hope that with the people interested in this movie will encourage the writers, producers, stars, or whomever to consider to a make DVD of this movie. Thank you very much.

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!

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.

OK so movie isn't as complex as it should be, but it's a TV series after all, so the best part about it is that the actors are very good, the scenery and the landscape also beautiful, and it is truly a beautiful, romantic movie, opposed to today's much more worse productions.The subject is very interesting, and I have to repeat, I loved the connection between the two main characters, they are just so beautiful together.The movie is relaxing and intriguing so, my opinion, go watch it!Oldie but goldie :)) PS: I also recommend it for those who like movies that are well written, very good acting and passioned about Ancient History.After the movie, I surfed the net to find out more info's on Solomon and I have to say I've found pretty interesting things.

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!!!
