Randolph Scott leads a n expedition into the uncharted arctic in search of a mythical fountain of youth in 'She'. Stranded in the frigid wilderness, Leo and his companions (Nigel Bruce and Helen Mack) stumble onto a colony of ferocious cave dwellers, guardians of Kor, a fantastic subterranean lost kingdom wherein lies the secret to eternal life.
Merian C Cooper produced this lavish adventure tale in an effort to reformulate the success of his 1933 film King Kong, to which SHE bears a striking resemblance. Only within the colossal gates of this hidden kingdom lurks not a fifty-foot ape but an even more exotic and threatening creature: a woman. Independent, powerful and feared by all, this ruler is known as SHE..She Who Must Be Obeyed.
She (Helen Gahagan) shows her ferocity not in a prehistoric jungle but in a variety of architectural wonders - art deco bedchambers and polished modernist temples combing ancient Egyptian design with pagan ritual and Bubsy Berkeley - style choreography. These audacious tableaux, combined with a show-stopping glacial avalanche and other remarkable special effects, backed by a dramatic score by Max Steiner (King Kong), make SHE a rare treasure worthy of H Rider Haggard, upon whose novel the film was based.
