This Movie Is About.
Wiki.
She is a 1935 American adventure film produced by Merian C. Cooper. It is based on the 1887 novel of the same name by H. Rider Haggard. A man named Leo Vincey travels with his friend and daughter to a mysterious place in Northern Siberia, where his ancestor reported finding the secret to immortality. They discover a lost world where a woman named She Who Must Be Obeyed (She) rules over an exotic civilization. She believes Leo is a reincarnation of his ancestor, whom She loved, and offers to share the secret of immortality with him. She dies in an effort to demonstrate that the immortal flame will not kill Leo. The film stars Helen Gahagan, Randolph Scott and Nigel Bruce. Cooper originally wanted to film She in color, but switched to black-and-white after last-minute budget cuts.
The ancient civilization of Kor is depicted in an Art Deco style, combined with influences from Egyptian, Greek, and Mayan art. Special effects were performed through the use of miniatures and matte paintings, along with other techniques. Max Steiner, who composed the score, considered it one of his greatest works. Ruth Rose adapted the story for the screen.
At its initial release in 1935, it lost money, but was more popular in 1949 when it was billed with The Last Days of Pompeii. Reception in 1935 praised the film's spectacle, but found the plot slow and uninteresting. Reviews from the end of the 20th century agreed that the sets, costumes, and special effects were impressive, but found the acting lacking. The film had two DVD releases in the 2000s, including a version colorized by Ray Harryhausen.
