1959. Gina Lollobrigida on set in Spain filming King Vidor’s biblical epic Solomon and Sheba. Tyrone Power is cast as Solomon but with two-thirds of the movie in the can he’s stricken by a massive heart attack while filming a duelling scene and dies. He’s replaced by Yul Brynner, and it’s back to square one with multiple scenes needing to be reshot. Photo by Leo Fuchs.
