Fernando F. Croce Slant Magazine Women in adventurer-impresario Merian C. Cooper's schoolboyish action yarns are rarely allowed to do anything other than get kidnapped and rescued. Rated: 2.5/4 Aug 23, 2007 Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins Despite the appeal in themes of immortality, reincarnation, and the folly of man's selfish indulgences, there aren't enough intricacies to make the premise consequential. Rated: 5/10 Jul 30, 2020 Full Review Ann Ross Maclean's Magazine It was difficult to get much excited about adventures that seemed to make so little impression on the participants. Oct 4, 2019 Full Review Jeffrey M. Anderson Combustible Celluloid At best She is only a camp classic. Aug 23, 2007 Full Review James Sanford Kalamazoo Gazette Thrillingly scored by Max Steiner and featuring backdrops you won't believe, the movie climaxes with a dazzling ceremony in the Hall of Kings, featuring hundreds of extras performing some of the most bizarre choreography ever filmed. Jul 1, 2003 Full Review Ken Hanke Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) A rare chance to see a temple ritual that looks like it was done by Busby Berekely Rated: 4/5 Jul 30, 2002 Full Review Read all reviews

Steve D Hard to review for me because I have such love for Helen Gahagan. It is pure cheese but the chance to see her act was not to be missed. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/12/23 Full Review Audience Member this movie was exceptional Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Easily forget-able, great in it's time b grade schlock from the mind that gave you king kong. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member I'd only seen the Hammer production until the other day. Although Hammer did a wonderful job, this '35 version is so much more atmospheric. It's obvious that Disney borrowed the image of the wicked queen in Snow White from this film. Performances are outstanding, special effects are incredible. I highly recommend this stylish, escapist adventure yarn. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member I saw the restored colorised version. The production design was impressive, but the screenplay and pacing were a bit weak. Overall a disappointment. Max Steiner's score was pretty good. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Spend A Few Eternal Moments With She Who Must Be Obeyed--A Visual Treat!! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Read all reviews
