King Solomon's Mines is an adventure novel by H. Rider Haggard, first published in 1885.Allan Quatermain is a hunter and wilderness guide in Africa. He is contracted by Sir Henry Curtis to find Curtis's brother George, who disappeared somewhere in Darkest Africa in search of the legendary diamond mines of The Bible's King Solomon. Quatermain has no interest in diamond mines and isn't particularly interested in a wild goose chase either, but Sir Henry's promise of a very hefty reward that Quatermain can send to his son back in England gets Quatermain to agree. Also agreeing to go on the journey is Captain John Good, a former naval officer, and a native named Umbopa, who has a strangely proud, regal bearing, and an agenda of his own.It was enormously successful, launching the Jungle Opera genre, and was followed by over a dozen sequels and prequels featuring the protagonist Allan Quatermain, including a crossover with Haggard's other most famous novel, She. It has been adapted for film and television many times, including a 1937 film that starred Cedric Hardwicke as Quatermain and Paul Robeson as Umbopa, a British film from 1950 that starred Stewart Granger as Quatermain and Deborah Kerr as Elizabeth Curtis, a 1985 film starring Richard Chamberlain and Sharon Stone (with a simultaneously-filmed sequel, Allan Quatermain and the Lost City of Gold), and a TV movie in 2004 starring Patrick Swayze and Alison Doody. | |

Death by Materialism: Bockner orders Quatermain and Jesse to give him all the diamonds they had taken from the mines (when he had already filled his pockets and hat with a fortune already). Quatermain leaves (most of) them on a stone right next to a trapped step, which Bockner walks on when collecting them. | |

Mutual Kill: Relatively early in their trek the gang hears a lot of commotion and sees some animals spilling out of the brush. It's a lion and an antelope, and they mutually killed each other. The lion got speared by horns when it pounced on the antelope, but still had enough life left to rip the antelope's throat out. | |

Convenient Eclipse | |
| King Solomon's Mines / int_3004e9c3 | comment |
Convenient Eclipse: Quatermain and his party persuade the Kukuanas to support Ignosi over evil King Twala by deploying an almanac that Cpt. Good just happens to be carrying, detailing a lunar eclipse that will occur the following night. The credulous natives, believing that the Europeans put out the moon, agree to support them. (In the original edition, Haggard described a convenient solar eclipse that somehow was visible all over Africa and Europe. Finding out that solar eclipses are total only over a very narrow range, Haggard had later editions changed to a lunar eclipse.) Gagool, being old enough to have seen lunar eclipses before, sees the ploy for what it is immediately and attempts to calm the frightened Kukuana. However, she is less scary than the eclipse and fails. | |

Pragmatic Adaptation | |
| King Solomon's Mines / int_603f1a80 | comment |
Pragmatic Adaptation As noted below, this film, along with just about every other adaptation, includes a Token Romance. Here, the character of the missing brother is eliminated, Sir Henry himself is the missing person, and the person who hires Quatermain is Sir Henry's wife, played by Deborah Kerr. The Great White Hunter bit where Allan and company shoot some elephants For the Evulz is here re-worked. In this film Allan is a wilderness guide and the people shooting the elephants are the British tourists who've hired him. Allan is appalled. Ignosi is still present in this film but his role is reduced and he wins his kingship in single combat with King Twala rather than in a great battle. This might have been for budget considerations, or maybe a little 1950s-style reluctance to feature a black man in a leading role, or maybe to avoid a lot of subtitling or awkward Translation Convention. The whole sequence with the eclipse is omitted. Sir Henry is even more a Living MacGuffin in this film than his brother was in the book. They find his skeleton in the cave, and that is it for Sir Henry, with Allan and Elizabeth left to be together. | |

Hollywood Natives | |
| King Solomon's Mines / int_6a36abe2 | comment |
Hollywood Natives: The Kukuanas, savage natives of unexplored Africa who attack all trespassers. They're easily convinced into accepting Quatermain's party as great white "visitors from the stars" by their false teeth, glass eyes, and pale uncovered legs. Note that Ignosi makes no attempt to correct this misconception until he speaks one-on-one with Infadus. That said, Quatermain finds a lot about Kukuana to admire. He compliments the skill of the Kukuana dancers, the beauty of their metalwork, their leaders' skill at oratory, and the skill and discipline of their soldiers. While he finds their poetry to be needlessly repetitive, he does not find it otherwise lacking. | |

Token Romance | |
| King Solomon's Mines / int_713d994b | comment |
Token Romance: As with every single other adaptation of King Solomon's Mines (surprisingly not an exaggeration), this one manages to shoehorn in a white female love interest who wasn't at all in the book. | |

Lineage Ladder | |

Lineage Ladder: Witch Doctor Gagool insists at various times that she knew "your father, and your father's father's father." The oldest member of the tribe remembers her as an old woman when he was a child. If she is the same Gagool who Da Silvestri warned about in his letter, as is hinted many times, then that would make her over four hundred years old, and if anything she could add a few more "fathers" to the pattern. | |

The Film of the Book | |
| King Solomon's Mines / int_b9af5ef3 | comment |
The Film of the Book/Pragmatic Adaptation: This was the first film adaptation of the novel, and it sticks closer to the novel's plot than any of the subsequent adaptations. Like all other adaptations it introduces a white female Love Interest, here named Kathy O'Brien, played by Anna Lee—the fact that Lee played a character named "Quartermain" on General Hospital for 22 years is not a coincidence. In this film the Living MacGuffin is Kathy's father, and Sir Henry and Capt. Good are clients of Allan's who agree to help Kathy out. Otherwise, this film is quite faithful to the novel. The episode with the eclipse and the great battle between Ignosi and Twala are retained. | |

Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane: Gagool was apparently already ancient when the grandfather of the Kukuana king's eldest advisor was a boy, and it's hinted she's well over 400. That said, she dryly suggests the Gagool Da Silvestri met was her grandmother with the same name, which would explain it...except she does have intimate knowledge of what happened with Da Silvestri, including the exact location of the bag of diamonds he dropped centuries ago in a sealed room that hasn't been visited since. She also claims she will curse anyone who kills her to a swift end soon after, and fatally stabs poor Foulata after she indirectly kills Gagool by delaying her exit. | |

Lighter and Softer: The original tale wasn't exactly dark per se, but there was a definite serious tone to it and had very little (if any) humor. This adaptation on the other hand? Not only does the movie crank up the jokes elevenfold, it also takes itself far less seriously with a much campier tone overall. By contrast, Allan Quatermain and the Lost City of Gold tries to be more of a straight adventure tale (unwisely, since they lacked the budget for any sort of convincing special effects, leading to quite a bit of Narm). | |

Translation Convention | |
| King Solomon's Mines / int_e11b003d | comment |
Ignosi is still present in this film but his role is reduced and he wins his kingship in single combat with King Twala rather than in a great battle. This might have been for budget considerations, or maybe a little 1950s-style reluctance to feature a black man in a leading role, or maybe to avoid a lot of subtitling or awkward Translation Convention. | |

National Geographic Nudity: Quite obvious with a couple of the women of the Kukuana tribe. Surprising for 1937. | |

Improbable Hairstyle: Elizabeth Curtis gets sick of her waist length hair in the humid African jungle and hacks a slice out of it. When it cuts to the next scene she has cut it short, and somehow perfectly styled it into a short do. | |

Jungle Opera: Trope Maker, Ur-Example, although not a literal example as the bulk of the novel doesn't take place in a jungle. | |

| King Solomon's Mines / int_fed07537 | comment |
Mighty Whitey: Sir Henry Curtis feels obligated to tell Ignosi not to conduct human sacrifices. He also manages to go toe-to-toe with several of Twala’s soldiers with Kukuana weapons in spite of never having trained with them. | |
