Comment
Deborah Kerr's husband went missing on an expidition into the interior of Africa to find thge fabled diamond mine of King Solomon and so she enlists Stewart Granger to take her on an expidition to find him. Deborah Kerr gives a good performance as the prim English lady learning about Africa. The star of the film is the backdrop of the African savanah and the animals that live there filmed in Technicolor. The film evokes the lost image of colonial Africa from the Rider Haggard novel.
