Attention Elsa/Alison Fans...

Hello Drinking Buddies!!!

Just thought I would pass this info on.

Alison Doody stars opposite Patrick Swayze in a remake of King Solomon's Mines premiering Saturday, the 12th of June in the U.S.

It will be on the Hallmark Channel (check with your local cable/satellite/digital system provider for specific channel number!)

It runs from 5 PM Eastern/Pacific until 9 PM Eastern/Pacific.

Toodles and Cheers! :)

Sounds interesting.
I think I'll check it out.

I hope I can get the channel.

[Rumpled Fedora]

Whoa.
I just realized that there's two threads concerning this topic. There's another on in the Film Classics table.

[Strider]

Good point bub!

Before anyone moves this post to the Film Classics section let me say that this is Indy related.

I'm currently watching King Solomon's Mines on The Hallmark Channel. It's a brand new TV movie of the classic story. So far it's great! A very lavish production and played straight (unlike Chamberlain's version). Patrick Swayze is Alan Quartermain and Alison Doody is the female lead. She is certainly in very familiar territory with this film. The plot of the classic story is similar to Last Crusade. Check your cable listings to see if this will be repeated.

It's also very long. It started at 8 and doesn't end until 11:30. But that's with commercials.

Oops. I guess I should have checked Film Classics before I posted this. I wasn't considering the new King Solomon's Mines a "classic" so I posted it here. Feel free to move the post if you wish.

Did anyone see it, and is it any good?
I don't have TV.

[VP]

You don't have a TV?

:eek:

[My Whips Bigger]

Is this on the UK Hallmark channel too?

[Rumpled Fedora]

I skimmed it a few times. I dunno, it was good to see Alison Doody again.

[Strider]

Do you give it a thumbs up or thumbs down?

[Rumpled Fedora]

I haven't watched it long enough to grade it yet.
