This adaptation of H. Rider Haggard’s 1887 novel was Hammer’s most
lavish, and most expensive, film to date. The film was part-financed by
Seven Arts, who paid for Dr No’s Ursula Andress to star as the
character the poster proclaimed as ‘the world’s most beautiful woman’.
Interiors were filmed at Elstree Studios, while Hammer made a rare
foreign excursion to film the exteriors in southern Israel. The glossy
result gave Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee one of their most
poignant scenes together and was a huge box-office hit. Despite this
neither director Robert Day nor Ursula Andress returned for the sequel,
or indeed any other film for Hammer.
