While hunting for game in Africa, a man by the name of "Allan Quartermain" (John Colicos) kills a man in self-defense who is clad in leopard skins and wearing a strange medallion around his neck. Puzzled by the strange inscriptions on it, he then consults with a colleague of his named "Sir Henry Curtis" (David McCallum) and, together with a former Royal Navy officer by the "Captain John Good" (Patrick MacNee), the three set off to find a treasure hidden in an unchartered part of Africa by the famous King Solomon. Now, having seen two similar movies under the title of "King Solomon's Mines" produced in 1937 and then again in 1950, I must say that this low-budget film pales in comparison to both of them. Not only was the script in need of serious improvement but the acting of David McCallum was particularly bad as well. That being said, if a person is looking for an adventure movie of this sort, I strongly recommend either of the two previously mentioned films as this one isn't really worth one's time.
