She (1965)


Directed by Robert Day
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, Warner Archive Collection)

A trio of archeologists led by Peter Cushing is given a mysterious map at a cafe in Palestine. After one of them is kidnapped and seduced by Ursula Andress, they decide to follow the map to a lost city. They trek across a desert and find a primitive tribe in some mountains. The film comes to a crawl in the lost city, with lots of talk about love and immortality. Some of the tribesmen are thrown into a fiery hole. Ursula and her reincarnated boyfriend walk into a blue flame, he becomes immortal but she turns old and withers away. Despite the sets and the cast it's never as good as you want it to be.
