DVD Review: OK but not as good as Ursula Andress version
Summary: 3 Stars
While this is definitely a classic, I can understand why it was so unsuccessful when released. Key roles, especially "She-who-must-be-obeyed" are horribly miscast. Ms. Gahagan simply is not convincing in the role of the eternal queen. This version also changes the original story and moves it to the Arctic??.
The remake with Ursula Andress was much better in terms of casting and in staying faithful to the original story. The acting in this remake was also much better than the 1935 version in my humble opinion. Ursula Andress is perfect and stunning in the role of queen Ayesha, She-who-must-be-obeyed. Her performance is certainly more convincing than that of Ms. Gahagan.
Check out the Ursula Andress version which is finally available in a Region 1 DVD version and see for yourself.
DVD Review: quite a treasure of a film....
Summary: 4 Stars
I dont know why this film made such a impact when i was a young lad, that after
30 years, ive finally found the film.
I really did'nt know what to look for as i must have been pretty young, and the
words 'SHE' was the clue. So as the years passed by, movies like 'CHE' and others
titles with the word 'SHE' in it would light me up, but never did find what i was
looking for...till this version came out...in color also.
So, yes this is the film. Now, trying to figure out why the big impact, im
finding out more about this movie....Giant sets...Great music...strange dancing
acts...mountains...caves...magic flames.....
You dont find too many of these films around, so if you like the genre it
will be quite a experience.
Love it in Black and White....Love it more in Color.
A keeper,,,enjoy
DVD Review: The original "She" much better than the remake
Summary: 5 Stars
What a wonderful adventure......who needs all the computer generated special effects
when you can watch an old wonderful film like the original film "SHE". Films like this
established the themes for contemporary films like the Indiana Jones series.
DVD Review: Mostly fun; bizarre at points
Summary: 3 Stars
Some of the acting is uneven, and the plot... well, it was glorified pulp fiction when it was written, and it keeps that quality on the screen.
There are odd bloopers that nowadays would have been reshot immediately. Look for the actor that stops beating his drum even though the sound track says he continues; look for the actress who was supposed to get her torch lit during a choreographed dance sequence and doesn't manage it; and look for the drummer who is grinning so maniacally that you wonder if maybe he thought he was in a comedy piece, and not doing what was supposed to be a highly dramatic scene.
That said, there's entertainment to be had here, at least if you don't mind the bizarre and overly long dance number near the end, or She's occasionally over the top monologues. (I mentally renamed her as She Who Takes Herself Too Seriously, partway into the movie.) Melodramatic and meandering by turns, but still worth a rent.
DVD Review: under-rated adventure classic
Summary: 4 Stars
SHE reunited the team which brought to the screen "King Kong" and "The Most Dangerous Game" (chief among them producer Merian C. Cooper, music composer Max Steiner and script supervisor Ruth Rose) for another rollicking adventure yarn. Based on the novel by H. Rider Haggard, SHE is the story of a group of explorers who travel deep into the artic in search of a mysterious life-force....the flame of life which bestows immortality on those who are brave enough to enter it.
Leo Vincey (Randolph Scott), Holly (Nigel Bruce), and Tanya (Helen Mack) join forces to track down the Flame of Life, and instead stumble across a forgotten world of primitive cave-dwellers hidden behind a giant door, and the beautiful yet fearsome Queen Hash-A-Mo-Tep of Kor (Helen Gahagan), otherwise known as She Who Must Be Obeyed!
Randolph Scott is wooden yet fun in the role of Vincey, but it's Helen Gahagan's show all the way. This was remarkably her only full-length film credit. Helen Mack is a lovely presence, and Nigel Bruce provides solid support.
Forget the two tepid remake/sequels with Ursula Andress. SHE is a grand adventure, filled with the flourishes that only Merian C. Cooper could provide. A fantastic movie to while away a dull Sunday afternoon. The colourised version on the Legend DVD is quite good, with sharp contrast and shadow detail. Thankfully the disc also includes the original B&W print too. The bonus interview with Ray Harryhausen is much-appreciated and it's also fascinating to go behind the scenes with the colourisation technicians.
If you enjoyed "Lost Horizon" you'll love SHE.
Description of She - In COLOR! Also Includes the Original Black-and-White Version which has been Beautifully Restored and Enhanced!
From the creative team that brought you King Kong, a thrilling tale of adventure, immortality and lost love. A group of explorers, led by the dashing Leo Vincey (Randolph Scott), sets out on a mission in search of the legendary flame of life, a mysterious force that bestows immortality. Their perilous journey takes them to the heart of a remote glacier where they are taken captive by the beautiful but impossibly cruel She. Filled with lavish art deco sets, gorgeous costumes and backed by Max Steiner's powerful score, this stunning edition has been painstakingly restored in high definition from the original 35mm film elements and is now in color for the first time under the creative direction of legendary effects master Ray Harryhausen.Randolph Scott is his usual stiff but smiling self as Leo Vincey, the long-lost American heir to a British family legacy, sent by his estranged father to reclaim the legendary "Flame of Life," discovered five centuries ago by his explorer ancestor. Producer Merian?C. Cooper, best known for directing King Kong, changes the locale of H. Rider Haggard's classic adventure from Africa to the Arctic (which, apart from a spectacular avalanche, looks positively stagebound), but he pulls out all stops for the magnificent underground kingdom hidden in the icy mountains, complete with a cavernous throne room with vaulted ceilings and a massive staircase that would look right at home in the Ziegfeld Follies. The cruel She Who Must Be Obeyed (Helen Gahagan) is a beautiful but icy queen driven ruthless by her centuries of loneliness. The film takes some time to get started but once She makes her impressive entrance through a mist-enshrouded arch, we're plunged into a dangerous, exotic world of strange ceremonies, human sacrifices, nefarious plots, and the gorgeous whirlwind of light that is the Flame of Life. Though the dialogue is often flat and uninspired and the performances by Scott and Gahagan rather arch (costars Nigel Bruce and Helen Mack fare much better), this grand adventure concludes with a rousing climax full of impressive set pieces and breathtaking effects. --Sean Axmaker
