@@wtk6069 I never thought about it being symbolic. I’d hang on to it, myself, and dump something else. But I like the symbolism. Thanks for that insight.
Certainly beats Masters of the Universe crap. Much obliged to CCC for posting both the B&W and fake color versions so that we can choose. Upvoted for that.
To appreciate a movie such as this, one must put themselves in the perspective of the time when it was made, the same requirement for a person to be able to understand history. Not everyone can, or wants to do that. If it is more than 15 or 20 years old, they have no interest or appreciation of it.
If a movie doesn't have CGI, a lot of people dismiss it as old junk made before they could do 'much better' with CGI. It's like the old cars I love- my friends felt sorry for me when I bought & restored a '54 Chevy PU. They thought I was broke-lol. Old anything, including people, morals, etc. is out. Their loss.
Вы будете смеяться,но фильм "Копи царя Соломона"(1937 г.) ,мне нравится больше,чем великолепный ремейк с Р. Чемберленом и обворожительнаюой Шерон Стоун. В фильме 1937 года, лучше всех выглядит Поль Робсон, он такой фактурный,колоритный! Если бы он ещё в конце фильма спел-"Широка страна моя родная..."( он эту песню пел по- русски, когда бывал в СССР, в Москве.) был бы вообще полный улёт!
This version is worth watching just to behold the perfect beauty of Miss Anna Lee's smile. But a better version of the movie is the 1950 film with Stewart Grainger and Deborah Kerr. Also, read the book, as the characters are more complete than any movie can make them. The old witch Gagool just cannot be presented effectively in any movie. Only the book can give her the personality Haggard intended.
I remember when a version of this movie came out in the 1980's starring Richard Chamberlain. I thought it was a cheap rip off of Indiana Jones. I didn't realize that the book came out waaaay before movies were even invented....!
I have the book that has all the news articles and opinions about this book when it came out, they all wanted a woman in the story. It talks about how young boys would ogle over the drawing of the shivas breasts map LMAO
Really enjoyed this, feel like there is probably some fascinating stories about the production. Apparently Robeson was upset because they ended up reshooting scenes to make the african natives seem more stereotypical. I get similar feelings to watching little rascals(our gang), where theres the typical racism of the time but also its way ahead of its time in inclusiveness.
@@xhagast yea exactly, although it still has its issues it was extremely progressive for its time. Like I mentioned it is similar to little rascals, which while still having racist stereotypes to certain degree it had black kids friends with white kids. Stymie was often portrayed as being very clever, and was a loved character. Well not by all, both this movie and little rascals(our gang) were criticized by racist of the time. Probably wouldn’t have found either in theaters in some parts of the country back then.
That voice belongs to this movie's top billed actor, Paul Robeson. He was a very famous actor and singer who rose to fame on stage in the musical "Show Boat" singing "Old Man River". There are some biographies about him available here on You Tube if you would like more information about him.
Very good Movie. Paul Robeson, who played Umbopa was a very fine Baratone and was featured in musical films during the 1930's &1940's. I'm curious to know if the Solar Eclipse was a real planned event during the production or if this was done using special effects?
بسیار زیبا رایدر هاگارد ، در این فیلم الماس و گنج یک بهانه برای به تصویر کشیدن زیبائی های انسان قدیم با انسان جدید متمدن را یکجا مد نظر داشته ترانه های زیبا در کل فیلم قدیمی نسبت به تکنولوژی فیلم سازی امروزی بسیار جذاب و زیبا به تصویر کشیده شده همیشه در سینما زن و عشق و گنج مد نظر هست برای به تصویر کشیدن زیبائی های انسان ها و قومیت های مختلف دنیا بسیار عالی بود تشکر امیر پوریان از ایران
White Hunters were the professionals who led expeditions for the rich to "bag" the big five etc. back in the days when big game hunting was a macho sport for rich men with nothing better to do than "prove their manhood' that way. The pro often shot the game at the same time as the client missed it! The book was written in 1885.
??? Are you referencing Paul Robeson, who was famous for singing opera and later went into films, like this one, with TOP BILLING! James Earl Jones was born in 1931. He was 6 years old when this came out.
Paul Robeson was branded as a "commie" in the States, so he moved to Britain and was a popular entertainer here who also starred in films such as this one, and played Othello on stage.
Never could understand in shows where the characters throw away the containers when they would be handy if water is found. Right?
Iv thougt that in a lot of westens when they throw away water containers
But it's symbolic of their despair. It says that on some psychological level they have lost their hope of finding water.

I read somewhere this is the most faithful adaptation of the book of all the movies made
Good to Know - thanks!
No girl accompanied them in the book. Always good to see - and hear Paul Robeson, of course
I read somewhere that you read somewhere this is the most faithful adaptation of the book of all the movies made
Other than the singing and female character inserted, it's pretty close to the book. But both the changes probably made for a more successful movie.
@@JoeBamaSmokesCrackand the original writer of said statement was totally incorrect
The Rider Haggard novel that this was based on came out in 1885, 52 years earlier. Rider Haggard himself died in 1925.
Old movie 😂😂😂😂😂😂❤❤❤
Old movies are best.
Great book . Great movie. After this watch the movie SHE . .
Don't forget Nada the Lilly

The rich voice of Paul Robeson makes this movie. He is the perfect king
Un clasico de 1937 disfrutenla yaa
This is a pre-Indiana Jones adventure: mighty good musical!
Miss Anna Lee was Lila Quartemaine on General Hospital and her son was named Alan Quartermaine! (Different spelling. )
Back when good action and adventure movies didn't rely heavily on fake explosions. Actually a bit more interesting than later versions.
Excelente, Realmente hermosas, buenas, buenas películas.
🔵ALL THAT THEY WENT THROUGH AND WHEN THEY FOUND THE MINE THEY DIDN'T KEEP NOT EVEN A PEBBLE OF DIAMOND💎.🔴
I remember when a version of this movie came out in the 1980's starring Richard Chamberlain. I thought it was a cheap rip off of Indiana Jones. I didn't realize that the book came out waaaay before movies were even invented....!
And Chamberlain couldn't keep his mitts off Sharon Stone. 🤨🤬
It looks rather the other way around, Indian Jones being a ripoff of this film, lol 😁
@@jonpayne4931 What makes you think that? He came out as gay 15 years ago.
@@jonpayne4931Chamberlain was gay, wasn't he?
35:00 ooooold man river

Glen MacWilliams lensed Hitchcock’s “Lifeboat”.🚢

They allowed Oombopa to be a noble king, with a better role than most of the white characters had. Which was faithful to the book.

@@fintan9218 But they were made and we still watch them today. The door was opening and light was coming in. And this is a surprisingly good movie.
@@xhagast exactly, i agree. my main criticism with the movie was the ending, eclipse was a bit silly/cliche. Really enjoyed the rest though.
@@fintan9218 LMAO. Columbus was the first guy to pull that one out. FOR REAL!!! In any case, it is in the book so.
Much better than the 1985 version.
this is a totally woeth less movie it does not have nothing to do with Solomon.
Thank you for posting this gem of a movie. I've never seen it before.
To bad they had to ruin the movie by singing
I didn’t know James Earl Jones was that old.

All rigth, all rigth..let me know.tks✔️
It's right
❤❤
Hillarious.
They used the same 'eclipse' trick in 'A Connecticut Yankee In King Arthur's Court'. Guess it's a trope so. 🙄
أعتقد أن هذه النسخة من الرواية يجب أن تحال إلى التقاعد ووضعها على الرف العلوي 🤔
Beautiful Africa, animals, in version with Deborah Kerr.
WTF!?! And THIS is a movie from the thirties!?!
💗🙏🌲🌴👋👍🌷💗I love it thank you
The best! Closer to the fantastic book.
No sign of: Indiana Jones, Hope & Crosby, Howard, Fine and Howard, Abbott & Costello, or even Ace Ventura????
Of course not. It is a British film made in 1937.
Nice trick with the rolling rock door.
Thanks for sharing this movie with us 🎉😊.
Good man Robson the Welsh loved him
A unique version of this movie with Paul Robeson providing his rich,beautiful singing voice. Thank you,for showing this film.
Very good Movie.

Not bad 😊

بسیار زیبا رایدر هاگارد ،

همیشه در سینما زن و عشق و گنج مد نظر هست برای به تصویر کشیدن زیبائی های انسان ها و قومیت های مختلف دنیا
بسیار عالی بود

Ya gotta love the "White Hunter" suffix. How many did he manage to bag? Would that be today's equivalent of being a 'poacher hunter'?
White Hunters were the professionals who led expeditions for the rich to "bag" the big five etc. back in the days when big game hunting was a macho sport for rich men with nothing better to do than "prove their manhood' that way. The pro often shot the game at the same time as the client missed it! The book was written in 1885.
James Earl Jones the voice is the proof
??? Are you referencing Paul Robeson, who was famous for singing opera and later went into films, like this one, with TOP BILLING!
James Earl Jones was born in 1931. He was 6 years old when this came out.
Paul Robeson was branded as a "commie" in the States, so he moved to Britain and was a popular entertainer here who also starred in films such as this one, and played Othello on stage.
