An inspiring pulp movie on netflix

[surixurient]

The 1935 film She.  It's got everything: overly ambitious scientists looking for eternal life, greedy mountain men, beautiful girls, arctic treks, superstitious native guides, ancient civilizations, cave dwelling cannibals, tropical paradises hidden behind a pass in the arctic, massive scaled art deco sets, epic rituals, human sacrifice, evil queens, adventure, romance, what more can you ask

I definitely need to find some miniatures to represent the magnificent civilization of Kor, and their diabolical queen, She!

Watching it now. So far quite enjoyable. Thanks for the heads up.

You can also read the book for free by H. Rider Haggard

But the book doesn't feature Christopher Lee, wearing some of the most outrageous head gear ever....it defiantly enhances the experience!

Yup, the 1935 version is really cool. I'm so glad this 'lost' film was rediscovered and re-released.   

And if you're a Hammer fan, their 1965 version with Ursula Andress is worth checking out.

Just watched it on UTube. The one titled...

She 1935 Randolph Scott Adventure Fantasy Romance

Pulp rocks.

I noticed it on Netflix the other day.

The 1930's version is much more atmospheric and pulpy, but She just didn't have any ooomph, IMHO.  She is supposed to be so beautiful that men fall to their knees before her.  Congresswoman Douglas didn't measure up at all.  And Randolf Scott was pretty boring.
The Hammer version had a great Cushing and Lee and the gorgeous Ursula, who didn't have quite the magisterial presence.  Still room for a really good version, truer to the book, but I doubt we'll see it.
Vengeance of She is not very endurable and is seriously mis-titled if you're tempted to sample this later Hammer offering.

I read the book last year. Definitely not something that would go straight into film. The long sections in Greek were totally lost on me. I'm certain the pulp movies were better. Now I'm checking out the first Fu Manchu book. It is much more a movie!

Head over to Colonial and have a chat with Plynkes about it. He loves 'She'.

They are both great.  I own the one with Ursula Andress.  I haven't purchased the earlier one yet.
