She*   

(GB 1965)                                

A young explorer is lured towards a lost city in the Valley of the Kings by a mysterious immortal queen who believes he is the reincarnation of her lost love.
One of Hammer's biggest productions but sadly not one of its best: its star lacks the ability to carry a film of this nature, and the style seems rather distant from Rider Haggard, more a mixture of Sixties extravagance and flimsy romance (and some Lawrence of Arabia pastiche). The Hammer regulars do their best but remain in the margins.

Written by: David T. Chantler, based on the novel by H. Rider Haggard.
Producer: Michael Carreras.
Director: Robert Day.
Starring: Ursula Andress, Peter Cushing, John Richardson, Bernard Cribbins, Christopher Lee, Rosenda Monteros, Andre Morell.
Photography: Harry Waxman.
Music: James Bernard.


Hammer employed the services of the two sexiest stars of the time - for that one purpose only
