A darned good flick, and Ursula Andress is stunning, as always

I saw this film a long time ago when it was released in theaters, and I really enjoyed it. Although it does not slavishly follow the story in the H. Rider Haggard classic of the same name, it is close enough. The story is simple. Three British adventurers on a quest for immortality stumble onto a mysterious society ruled by Queen Ayesha (Andress) who is "She-Who-Must-Be-Obeyed." Ayesha believes that one of the Brits, Leo Vincy, is the reincarnation of her former lover, who she killed in a jealous rage a thousand or so years earlier. (Ayesha is immortal.) There is more to the story, and in fact it all makes for a pretty good yarn.

I do not know why this one is not presently available on DVD, and I hope that it soon will be, as this is a pretty decent adventure flick, and the gorgeous Andress of course gives the viewing extra zippity-do-da.

What a wonderful way to waste a rainy afternoon.

If you're the type of person who enjoys high camp. Then
you'll just love "She". Ursula Andress (or Undress as I called
her!). was one of the most un-talented actresses of the 1960s.
Yet she was able to carry off this bad adaptation of H.Ryder Haggar fantasy novel incredible well.
For those who have never read the novel. "She" is the story of
a three soilders, who are cast adriffed in what was then known as Palestine after the end of WW1.
The leader of the trio is an old soilder named Holly.
the second man is a more muscular fellow in his early 30s named Job.
And the youngest is an incredibly handsome man named Leo Vincy.
It is he that the story is centered on. For Leo is the object
of desire for the beautiful and undying Ayesha, eternal queen of the lost city of Kuma. A fabled city who's wealth and
power and greatness surpassed that of even Egypt itself.
Ayesha believes that Leo is the reincarnation of Kilicrates.
her Greco-Egyptian high preist and lover. Whom she killed in
a passionate fit of rage.
She has waited over 2000 years for his return. So that she can
bestow upon him her secret of eternal life, and have him
forever!
But first he must find his way to her lost city, and go through
a series of trials in order to be truly worthy of her great gift.
I won't go through the whole story, but it makes for a good
read. And the movie its self is good enough to spend a do nothing day watching.
I recomend it for both the story and its campiness factor.

They say a moth is attracted to a flame

Well not quite the novel "She", by Henry Rider Haggard, but a little closer than earlier versions this movie and is quit fun to watch.

Three men back from the war, Maj. Horace Holly (Peter Cushing), Job (Bernard Cribbins), and Leo Vincey (John Richardson) are just aching for adventure. While having a good time in the local bar in Palestine, Leo is vamped by a beautiful exotic girl Ustane (Rosenda Monteros.) He gets abducted and is confronted by a mysterious and mesmerizing timeless beauty Ayesha (Ursula Andress). She gives him a ring and a map and she says "find me." His friend sees the ring and the map and says treasure. So they are off in the desert. They will soon find more than they expected, and so shall we.

The story does not quite follow the book but the adventure is still there.
