I hope the new March release of "Solomon and Sheba" has some bonus material. Director King Vidor said in the 1969 book "The Celluloid Muse: Hollywood Directors Speak" that it was a much better film with the original lead, Tyrone Power. He added: "It would be extremely interesting to compare Solomon and Sheba in it's present form with the two months' footage we shot with Power:I'm sure it must be preserved somewhere."
